As economic and regulatory pressures drive financial institutions to seek efficiency gains by improving the quality of their trading processes and systems, firms are devoting increasing amounts of capital to maintaining their competitive edge. Straight-Through Processing (STP), which automates every step in the trading system, is the most effective way for firms to remain competitive. According to the Securities Industry Association, the US securities industry will spend $8 billion to implement STP initiatives, and 99% percent of this investment will be made in systems internal to the firm. Straight-Through Processing for Financial Services: The Complete Guide provides the knowledge and tools required by operations managers and systems architects to develop and implement STP processing systems that streamline business processes to maintain competitiveness in the market.

* Learn the tools and techniques for developing software systems and for streamlining business processes
* Keep up to date and well informed in this highly regulated and ever changing market
* Gain the knowledge and experience for a leading consultant in the field

2Expected more... very average  Jan 19, 2010 By Stevie "Steve"
I wanted a book that I could use as a quick reference. I'm in the industry and wanted something I could reference and lend to team members. The book is pretty light on detail. On the technology side it doesn't offer much more than a quick google would uncover. It has some good sections but for the money I wouldn't recommend to others.

3An average guide that doesn't go into any details.  Mar 11, 2008 By Ivo Najdenowicz
Ayesha Khanna's guide to STP for financial services is a useful book for those people to whom the subject is relatively new.
I was looking for more in depth knowledge and more detailed guidelines of best practices. Even though I found some interesting tips on some technology choices if one was to buy a sub-system off the shelf, I can't say I was completely satisfied with the book's contents.


5Excellent  Apr 05, 2012 By Neurmon
Arrived on time and as promised,I work with market data every working day so have a high level of knowledge concerning it. But when a new standard comes along, particularly one where a fair amount of abstraction of the domain is applied, it is difficult to map real world data into that abstract model. This is where the book is essential reading. It gives practical application of real world data and real world uses of that data. This greatly accelerates the application of this model to practical uses.

4Greate concise book about trade flow and STP  Jul 03, 2008 By Myo NA
I have been looking for a book which will give me a quick overview of how trading work and I found this great book. I am a programmer and a newcomer to trading and trying to understand the trading workflow overview. It serves this purpose. Only thing is that it is a bit expensive compared to other books.

5Readable, Relevant, & Recommended: A Great Resource on STP & Process Standards in Financial Services  Nov 25, 2007 By Jaime Fitzgerald "Architect of Fact-Based Decisions @ Fitzgerald Analytics"
A great book--well written and practical--highly relevant for at least two audiences:

1) Financial professionals involved in process redesign, especially Straight Through Processing (STP)

2) Anyone for whom technology-enabled process automation is a goal. Even if you are not streamlining trade settlement processes, Ms. Khanna's book has valuable lessons and frameworks which apply throughout the financial services industry, and beyond.

Why do I believe this book is valuable beyond STP specifically? The book is structured to combined specific details with essential principles.

For example, my favorite chapter, Chapter 6: Data Management, introduces core data management concepts including data governance, "golden copy" reference data, service-oriented data synchronization, and even best practices in data normalization.

Readable, relevant, and highly recommended.
