Accurate profitability and predictive performance management are the keys to achieving organic growth.

To boost profitability, you must first understand it. To increase retention and increase customer wallet share, you must first understand whom to keep. That's a challenge, as many organizations combine inaccurate cost information from traditional costing systems with other financial and operational data to generate reports on customers and products. This approach, however, doesn't measure true profitability; nor does it enable the development of customer, product or channel mix scenarios that can be used to grow the bottom line.

Learn about the SAS(r) approach to successfully and profitably achieve organic growth.

SIFMA Day 1 and 2

	Adam Honore, Senior Analyst, Aite Group Core technologies are going to be big this year, says Aite Group senior analyst Adam Honore on the SIFMA show floor. "It's not the most exciting booth to stop at, but it's interesting if you look at some of the event processing, visualization vendors, and the people associated with moving messages, and how it applies to other technologies that exist in the market."
	Ian Graham, Chief Scientist, Endace Accelerated Ian Graham, chief scientist at Endace Accelerated, is the architect behind Endace Acclerated's hardware and high speed computer clusters. The company measures low latency, pinning network traffic down to an accuracy of 10 nanoseconds. "We make high speed data capture cards for a wide variety of networks. Latency is a big thing and we measure what exactly it is. Measurement is how you reduce latency," says Graham, who came to SIFMA from New Zealand, where he is based.
	Mark Fields, Director Business Development, FTEN "We're here because have an environment for black box algorithmic trading systems that is incredible," says Mark Fields, director business development at FTEN, whose booth offers pigs-with-wings-shaped stress relievers. "We're the complete environment that partners with the broker-dealer to deliver this service for the very demanding buy side user. Some people say, --When pigs fly that's when you'll give me an environment like that, but it's available today."
	Jack Wiener, EVP, Linedata "We're offering a new trading system and technology that enables our traders to get access to different liquidity pools, dark pools, algos, and DMAs all at the same time," says Jack Wiener, EVP, Linedata.

	J. Barry Thompson, Founder/CTO, Tervela At Tervela's booth, executives in multicolored tie-dye t-shirts are touting a "Revolution" with the company's new 3.0 product, which introduces message networking and the ability to perform any service running in the message infrastructure. "You have to talk about the revolution, the message network really is the fundamental basis for the infrastructure revolution. Yeah, it's fun, it's groovy, but it's the revolution how we approach problem solving in our data centers," says Tervela founder/CTO, J. Barry Thompson. "For the last 15 years, we've had the same data center architecture, servers, networks and bits of software in between. Tervela offers a mezzanine solution to optimize your server infrastructure in real-time."
	David Mainville, founder, Consulting Portal David Mainville, founder, Consulting Portal, says he is attending SIFMA to talk to prospective clients about the value of IT service management and how they can be more effective at implementing and operating IT.

Mainville was one of hundreds lining up to register at the show. "This is our first time at the show and we're very pleased at the level of traffic," he added.
	Michael Lenahan, SVP, Skyler Technology Michael Lenahan, SVP, Skyler Technology, is at SIFMA to showcase the low-latency provider's next generation global liquidity discovery solution. "Ultra low latency is always a big thing, particularly with the exploding market data rates we've seen in last year.

	Chuck Molinary, Managing Director, Citisoft Chuck Molinary, managing director of the New York region, Citisoft, says one of the main trends on Wall Street are vendors in the OMS space who have historically been in equity, fixed income platforms and are moving to derivatives processing. "At the same time, a lot of the derivatives platforms are going downstream towards fixed income. It's kind of a race to see who can come up with a single platform that can support both asset classes," he says. Molinary, who has attended SIFMA for the last 8 years, says the event seems to be growing. "It is also getting a little more glitzy," h

Mark Mahowald, president and founder, 29 West, tells WS&T editor Melanie Rodier how his company is trying to differentiate itself from the other low latency providers that surround his booth at SIFMA.
