TY - JOUR A1 - Wicht, Wolfgang A1 - Sweeney, Brian T1 - Multi-National Electronic Brokerage - Pan-European IT Platform for domestic and cross-border securities business & processing T2 - Business Information Management, 1 N2 - The former bull market has led to developments in the online brokerage industry such as over-capacity, profit-margin pressure, high fixed costs and unprofitable country expansion in the current bear market environment. In order to manage this situation, tactical measures like cost containment programs and closing of international brokerages have been applied. More strategic approaches like order flow consolidation by brokerage franchises, integrated online & branch brokerages and multinational electronic brokerages are valid alternative responses to these developments. This article outlines the Multi-National Electronic Brokerage approach from a strategic, functional, operational and technical perspective.

Orderflow consolidation will be the key principle to obtain the critical mass for this business. Options for the consolidation of the order flow can be the consolidation across internal entities / countries of the group and the acquisition of external order volumes e.g. via brokerage franchises. The current system landscape is not designed to support multi-national and multi-entity order flow consolidation. Fragmented, redundant, legacy-based and proprietary securities order management systems have been utilized to ensure market readiness in the former bull market. This article outlines the requirements and architecture for securities order management systems which enable the efficient orderflow consolidation across entities and countries in the brokerage industry.
