"In our evaluation of CEP, StreamBase came out on top. We’re building a robust trading system using a platform approach – we are not just building an application.  In this context, StreamBase delivers a combination of high performance, high availability, and scalability via its multi-threaded server, and solid abstractions in the development tools that allow us to rapidly implement our trading strategies and market data management schemes.”  — Eric Pritchett, CEO, PhaseCapital

“The combination of StreamBase and Vertica enables us to get a low-latency, aggregated view of ‘everything that ticks’ in the increasingly complicated, fragmented, high-speed financial markets.  Their joint solution helped us get to market quickly and, more importantly, change our system quickly in response to new opportunities.  We save weeks to months with each market or analytic we add, and that helps us capture trading advantage while it’s most lucrative.  It enables our 24-hour global trading operations, and helps us optimize our market data licensing, all at once.” — Justo Ruiz-Ferrer, Head of Trading Strategy Systems and Quantitative Development, BlueCrest

“Our StreamBase partnership allows firms such as RBCCM to rapidly devise algorithmic and quantitative strategies, which may require months to years of tick data to discover past patterns that may predict existing or future trading conditions without adding large amounts of latency.” — Jeff Hudson, CEO, Vhayu

“There are three primary reasons StreamBase impresses me. First, time to market is key in financial services, and the StreamBase Studio™ environment allows us to get to market quickly with very little coding.  Second, StreamBase meets the high-performance demands of Wall Street – it can handle large amounts of data, quickly.  Finally, its multi-threaded architecture makes it very efficient – so StreamBase scales smoothly as the volumes in the market grow – it helps future-proof our trading infrastructure.” — Joseph Weisbord, Managing Director, BNY ConvergEx Group

"CEP has become increasingly important to IBM's customers in a number of markets. IBM is working strategically with StreamBase to meet these customer needs via solutions that integrate StreamBase's CEP engine with IBM's industry-leading data management products." — Dr. Arvind Krishna, Vice President IBM Data Servers

"StreamBase Systems' Stream Processing Engine is a sophisticated event management product designed for time-sensitive applications, where pattern detection and response must occur in milliseconds." — Mary Knox, Research Director, Gartner

"StreamBase cut our development cycle and allowed us to end up with a much better environment from a support standpoint. It also gives our end users visibility into the logic behind the software. StreamBase has a facility to build its data flows graphically. You can describe the flows and how the data flows are used to make decisions. The result is that a non-technical user can use the interface to put together business logic. As a result, we can offload some of the development work and reduce the amount of time-to-market for applications that we want to build because our business analysts can be involved in graphically building the applications which we can then run without writing a new code. It provides a way for our end users to take a part in building an application, and we don't need programming for the core pieces." — Ed Thieberger, Head of Trading Technology, Bridgewater Associates
