With every progression in industry standards, increase in processor speed and decrease data storage costs, automated traders up the ante by developing faster, more computationally intensive algorithms to outwit the market and outsmart each other. The result is a feedback loop that demands ever increasing data processing power and data management efficiency. One can debate whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but what is not up for debate is that financial services firms that want to stay competitive must constantly look to new technologies to avoid being crushed under the relentless deluge of stock trade data.

I am currently working on a webinar and white paper for NetSuite that initially was to be a CFO's perspective on the Cloud ROI/TCO. I have since convinced them that ROI/TCO approach is passe in that leveraging the cloud is not only about saving IT and other related costs it is really about efficiency and performance. The reason why I am writing to you is that I just read your post on Cloud Bulls: "Saving Time vs. Saving Money on the Cloud." Your post is exactly what I have experienced in leveraging the Cloud. It would be great to talk to you about what I am putting together and get your perspective on the examples that I am highlighting. You can see my background and experience by viewing my VisualCV at www.visualcv.com/tk Joel,
