Global portfolio systems market expanding

This article on "The Trade News" reports on the increasing market for global portfolio management systems, based on a report by the Aite Group.

I am very curious to see the German KAG (investment) market in the next years, in other words the buy side: will they continue to increase the STP rate, will they implement more portfolio and order management systems ? Time will tell...anyhow, the sell side is getting ready to connect, as this example shows: Fidessa and LatentZero combine execution management platforms.
