EuroEvents is proud to bring to you its inaugural Asia Pacific Operation Technology Solutions for Financial Institutions Conference, OpTech 2007, this November 6th.

The industry has long faced the challenges of a shortening product development cycle, intense competition and ever-increasing customer demands. In addition to bottom-line concerns, operation departments are under growing pressure to meet more stringent regulatory and compliance requirements, and to cope with the rapid increase in business transactions (many of them cross-border), particularly in the securities and fund industry. This has put a lot of pressure on middle and back office operations, and firms across the region are encountering growing difficulties due to the shortage of a skilled workforce that is able to cope with this rapidly increasing workload. In many cases, technology solutions have become important tools in handling these demands because they provide a more scalable and efficient infrastructure. The critical factor is knowing how to apply these solutions to effectively manage daily operations.

This conference, which has the theme "Building a Scalable and Efficient Operation", will highlight best practices and showcase how you can make your organization more competitive in today's fast-changing landscape. It will also discuss how technology solutions can help drive profitability, comply with regulatory requirements and adapt to converging markets. The aim is to create a neutral and influential platform for operation professionals and technologists in the finance industry, enabling them to share their experience with the many challenges currently facing the industry, and raise their key concerns.

OpTech 2007 will bring together more than 200 senior operations, technology and compliance professionals and regulators, as well as solution providers, to discuss the solutions available to meet their immediate needs. Entry to OpTech 2007 is free to qualified industry practitioners, who will receive the information they need to become more effective at their firms.
