Businessman Raj Fernando started trading firm Chopper Trading in 2002 and sold it in 2015, learning a lot about regulated markets technology systems in the process. “Basically everything we used internally, we built,” he says today.

So when looking for a new project following the sale, those technology systems seemed like a natural starting place. In particular, he looked at the collaboration system that had allowed the firm to work more efficiently: “We had lots of ideas around that, and I thought we could build these enterprise systems in regulated industries such as the financial industry and the legal industry.”
