Velox is enabling software development teams across Capital Markets to build critical business software up to 10x faster.
vCore , the Velox development platform, encapsulates solutions to tough engineering challenges in reusable building blocks, so developers spend their time on business features, not hidden non-differentiating infrastructure.
vCore enables firms to move away from the traditional choices of buy or build and adopt a best-of-both-worlds approach, where they are able to buy commoditized infrastructure while retaining the ability to build their own differentiating features.
A Buy & Build approach means tough but common engineering challenges are out-sourced, allowing internal development teams to focus on the build of features and functions that differentiate them.
Without the distraction of low-level development work, developer productivity is greatly enhanced and software builds become less risky and more affordable.
Whether or not you have a large internal development team at your disposal, there is an approach that will work for you.
Developer productivity is the negative energy holding back a firm’s desire to modernize, innovate and evolve.
The lack of objective measures makes it frustratingly hard to detect, leading CIO’s to keep hiring or try radical new paradigms, like building an army of citizen developers out of their user community.
The solution however, is already “in the building” and this untapped productivity can be unlocked with the right specialized development tools to address the problems at hand.
Unlike other developer productivity tools, vCore is for solving business problems, not technology problems.
vCore was build by Capital Markets developers for Capital Markets developers.
vCore combines selected modern “low code” development techniques, modern infrastructure and software (web & cloud) with 25+ years of industry experience building technology driven businesses. The result is an application development platform specifically designed for the type of real-world problems Capital Markets engineering teams face.
The overlap of the technology problems you need to solve to deliver typical front/middle office systems is provided by vCore out of the box. What remains to be built is the business logic unique to the clients business and problem.
vCore is designed to build user-facing systems that demand high-end performance across many dimensions.
Here are some of the key statistics that demonstrate the non-functional operating window.
Keep up-to-date on what the Velox team is up to.
Lessons learned from real world buy & build implementations. Adopting a buy & build approach can deliver game-changing benefits. In this session we will go over the key lessons learnt on how to maximize success.

The Velox founders often say that they are only qualified to run one business and that is this one. vCore is the platform we always wanted (and needed) but never had. Here are some of the key lessons (and applied) we learnt building trading systems in Investment Banking.
There are studies that suggest that every $1 spent on the Apollo space program paid back $14 in GDP over the next 30 years. Whether that is true or not it certainly inspired a generation of engineers and scientists to think big.So what is the equivalent of a "moon shot" for front office technology?
I was asked recently about the biggest challenge I faced during my 20+ years managing sales & trading technology in Capital Markets. My answer was managing the difference between the front office business demand for technological innovation such as new systems and upgrades and the ability of the front office technology department to supply it quickly and affordably.
There are studies that suggest that every $1 spent on the Apollo space program paid back $14 in GDP over the next 30 years. Whether that is true or not it certainly inspired a generation of engineers and scientists to think big.
vCore provides a better alternative that harnesses the best of the buy & build options and is specialized for delivering the type of mission-critical real-time infrastructure that trading businesses require.
Digital transformation projects are no different than any other large change initiative ands that is exactly why they are failing more often than they are succeeding.
