Michelle Price, Financial News, explains and analyses the difficulties and time taken to migrate and integrate trading platforms during exchange mergers, such as that of NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Börse. GreySpark comments that although the migration is fairly straightforward technologically, the human and political issues will cause the majority of problems. The article goes on the mention why internal politics will get in the way of the system selection process, with GreySpark finishing on the point that another complexity arises in persuading clients to move on to the new system when migration is complete.
