Based on our advanced financial technology and engineering capabilities, including a high-speed computing platform that enables real-time risk monitoring, we have become a household name in the banking industry.Phase 3: Transition from individual optimization to overall optimizationWe were responsible for building systems on a financial instrument-by-instrument basis in Phase 1 and Phase 2.
