Trading Platform & Core Technology

To continue building on and enhancing our adaptable, scalable core infrastructure and trading platform through exceptional people, process and technology. Striving to build an unparalleled user experience for all teams involved in the asset management process and system flows. In pursuit of this, foster a culture that promotes centralisation and standardisation, whilst providing the business units the autonomy and flexibility to be innovative, each in their own way.

Trading Platform Technology

Trading Platform Technology is responsible for technology solutions at the forefront of our asset management business and the trade lifecycle. This includes a wide and varied range of business functions such as portfolio management, order management, sales & marketing, trade execution, accounting, operations, compliance, regulatory reporting and risk. The team delivers this through a hybrid estate of in-house and third-party, on-prem and cloud solutions, which we feel gives the business the best of what the world of technology has to offer.

In addition, Trading Platform Technology are dedicated to evolving our technology departments through continuous platform improvements, architectural tools and patterns, business analysis, project management, design, development, data management, visualisation, support and vendor management.

Core Technology

Core Technology is split into End User Technology, Core Infrastructure Technology and Corporate Technology.

End User Technology is focused on supporting and enabling our staff at Man through the technical solutions that we offer. This starts with the technology they interact with everyday such as desktops, laptops and smartphones, and extends to our meeting room and AV solutions. We further optimise their ability to work flexibly and collaborate through tools such as Office 365, Webex and Slack.

Core Infrastructure designs, builds and manages the supporting layers of Man’s technology platform. Whilst largely hidden from sight in our datacentres, this Infrastructure provides the services and technology on which all other Man Technology relies. We are responsible for networks, servers, storage, databases, and the data centres themselves.

Corporate Technology supports systems for Man Group support functions such as Finance, Human Resources, Facilities and Group Risk. Many of these functions have industry standard requirements, where we typically utilise third party applications to meet their needs. Increasingly modern cloud-based solutions are being employed, such as, Workday, ServiceNow and Sharepoint.

In the ManOS team we are responsible for creating a modern platform which not only delivers apps that benefit users but also powers other services and apps across Man Group.
