Research Process: The research process is completed as follows: First we review our outline with a range of senior industry professionals to ensure that functionality required by current regulatory and operational imperatives is included. We next work extensively with the providers who have built Rule 22c-2 technology. Once this phase has been completed we review our research results and develop conclusions. By addressing our findings with senior industry professionals, we are able to provide strategic insights into the issues. Note that user interviews were not possible as none of the solutions were in production with clients at the time of publication.
