Stay on the ball by learning about the very latest

developments in e-business and B2B operations

As the internet continues to revolutionize the way in which global business is being conducted, the

true challenge for financial institutions lies in combining clear business aims with technological

know-how to achieve a profitable e-business operation.

Of critical importance is fitting an e-business strategy into your firm's long-term business goals whilst

maintaining competitive advantage and customer loyalty in a cyberworld. Despite the obvious

advantages of reducing inefficiencies and eliminating human error by automating online transactions,

there are still many obstacles to overcome for the effective implementation of e-business.

tackle and overcome the complexities of implementing a successful e-business strategy. The agenda

offers a choice of tracks addressing both the business and technology requirements for implementing

e-business and B2B operations, offering practical solutions from an unbiased perspective.

By attending this conference, you will have the

opportunity to:

● find out what others are doing in the e-business arena

● learn more about how organizations are being restructured to incorporate e-business strategies

● improve electronic connectivity for establishing B2B operations

● make informed decisions about how best to adapt your firm's architecture to e-business and B2B

operations

● achieve B2B goals through competent website content management

● examine how m-commerce can be integrated into an e-business strategy

● assess the comparative advantages of ECNs and ATSs for securities trading

Who should attend

institutions on both the buy-side and sell-side of the financial services industry. The conference will

e-commerce and the Financial Markets

December 4, 2000 - Windows on the World, New York

Waters Training is the only independent provider of training courses on the full range of market data

and financial information technology world-wide. The 'e-commerce and the Financial Markets' training

course will run on day one of the four-day e-commerce event, perfectly complementing the theme of

the conference.

Attendance at this one-day training course will provide you with a bird's eye view of current trends for

e-commerce in the financial markets and how e-commerce changes the shape of the way business is

done. It covers issues of security, liquidity, technology and how traditional methods of trading are

being modified to adapt to the new mediums of communication.

In an increasingly connected and global business, an understanding of the commercial laws in all of

the major trading blocks is essential, and particularly so in the new world of e-commerce. The laws

relating to e-commerce within the US, the EU and the UK are explored and potential pitfalls are

highlighted.

The following topics will be covered during the day:

● E-commerce - what it is, how prevalent it is and why it matters.

● Finance and e-commerce - how finance is key to e-commerce, but how e-commerce changes

finance just by being there.

● Issues relating to liquidity, fungibility, and connected communities.

● What are banks for anymore? The rise of telecom banks, industry verticals, B2B, B2C, A2Z channels

and how this challenges traditional banking models of business.

● How will and does it all happen - networks, devices, access, ASP’s and enablers?

● Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and e-CRM - data mining, prediction, Bayesian logic.

● Identification, trusted 3rd parties, repudiation, trade flow.

● Trading Paradigms and how these are being implemented electronically - matching, auction,

conversational, price / quote / order driven.

● Products and services for markets / verticals / generics - transaction systems.

● Glue - middleware, XML, Bizztalk and WTO.

● Legal aspects of trade, advertising and contracts.

● Regulation, Straight-Through Processing (STP), T+0 and Business at the Speed of ThoughtTM.

● How the future is likely to pan out - banks become owners of our credit worthiness.
