MiFID client classification means not only amending client documentation, but also business processes and trading systems, such as order management, order routing and execution. The enhancement and modification of front office systems can be complex and potentially costly.

> Hatstand's business was founded upon electronic trading systems.

 • Our independence gives clients access to a deep knowledge of trading systems and objective, best-practice advice at the most competitive cost.

   Hatstand was retained by Merrill Lynch (ML) to provide analysis,
   re-design, application integration and implementation skills to
   successfully migrate ML's client connectivity architecture from
   New York to the European environment. Hatstand implemented and
   supported all ML's clients connected to the systems and continues
   to provide a managed service solution for client connectivity.
  
   Tokyo Mitsubishi International (TMI) commissioned Hatstand to
   review, recommend and implement a solution to provide interfaces
   between its trade execution and settlement systems. Utilising three
   specialist trading consultants over 96 days, Hatstand conducted a
   thorough business analysis, produced a technical specification for
   the agreed solution and managed the design, build and "go live"
   process for the project.
