Architect / Technical Lead / Developer

TCS developed the product eIBS. It is an integrated brokerage system for large retail and institutional clients It helps to achieve Straight through Processing by seamlessly integrating the front and back office operations. It allows dealers to trade on both BSE and NSE and in Equity, Derivative, Commodity and IPO. The Internet site pushes the broadcast and routes the trades on TCP/IP sockets. The application is armed with tunneling capabilities to push the broadcast even if the application is running behind proxy (no TCP/IP). It provides online interfaces to the Bank and DP and Payment gateways. It also encompasses a Speed trade application that allows the client to download the application and trade over Internet.
