  • Businesses'and'startups'in'2015' By:$UTBA$ the Past Two Months Have Been Very Eventful for the Business World
    Businesses'and'Startups'in'2015' By:$UTBA$ The past two months have been very eventful for the business world. Markets worldwide were rattled on the 24th of August by the collapse in the Chinese stock markets, with the S&P 500 closing 3.9% down at the end of the day’s trading.1 Subsequently, the Fed delayed raising interest rates last month and doubt exists, as to whether it will do so this month. In other news, the world’s largest carmaker, Volkswagen has taken a serious beating both in terms of its reputation and market capitalization after the EPA announced that it had installed software in nearly 11 million “clean diesel” automobiles that masked the emission of hazardous compounds.2 Subsequent legal issues could prove to be very damaging for VW. As you would be knowing, speakers from over 12 startups in different industries will be part of the UTBA’s first speaker series on entrepreneurship. As a follow-up to the event, and to keep up your interest in the challenging start-up environment, here are three that could bring radical changes to their industries. 1)! Symphony Symphony Communication Services LLC, is a communications platform in the financial services industry that allows “financial firms and their customers to put all digital communications on a single platform”.3 For a business with more than 50 users, the platform costs just $15 (American) per user for a month and is free for smaller businesses and individuals.4 Bloomberg LP and Thomas Reuters Corp. provide similar services that can cost “tens of thousands of dollars per year for each customer”.5 Symphony is being backed by a total of 14 banks and money managers which include Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Deutsche Bank AG, Credit Suisse Group AG, Bank of New York Mellon Corp.

  • BNP Paribas: Symphony Chatbot
    Project #: MXC-ABVO BNP Paribas: Symphony Chatbot A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted By: Matthew Nicholson, Management Engineering Yaofeng Wang, Computer Science and Industrial Engineering Yiyi Chen, Industrial Engineering Submitted to: On-site Liaison: Andrew Clark Project Advisors: Professor Michael Ciaraldi, Department of Computer Science Professor Renata Konrad, Foisie School of Business Professor Kevin Sweeney, Foisie School of Business Submitted on: January 23, 2019 i Abstract To reduce the time and effort required to complete locate short sale requests, our team automated the communication process between the equity and derivative traders (EQD) and the stock lending and borrowing traders (SLAB) at BNP Paribas. Currently, for EQD traders to perform a short sale, they must contact the SLAB traders to figure out if they are allowed to borrow the shares. Once approved, the SLAB trader will be able to fill out a form and submit it to the SLAB software for further approval and borrowing rates. The SLAB traders review the request and reply back via Symphony chat room to let the EQD trader know if they have been approved, declined, or partially approved. The SLAB trader will also provide the EQD trader with information regarding the rate at which the shares are being borrowed. The current communication process is complex with multiple unnecessary manual steps. The chatbot our team designed will speed up the communication process by automating all the manual steps required by SLAB. The chatbot will also notify EQD traders of trades at a faster rate since it sends out responses automatically.

While Denver-based Ping Identity works in many industries, it secures all of the 12 largest U.S. banks as measured by assets — putting it squarely into the realm of financial technology, or fintech.
