Overcoming Legacy System Challenges: A Strategic Guide to Advanced OMS Solutions

Displacing a legacy OMS system to reduce costs and improve functionality. The Sell-side and Buy-side OMS industry is a displacement market. In order to bring new functionality and work with a new vendor, an existing system must be replaced. 

These systems, often in place for many years, include many integrated business workflows and customizations.


Common Challenges of Legacy OMS Systems in Finance


  • Cost of Change: Transitioning from a legacy OMS system can be expensive, especially for businesses lacking in-house expertise. The integration of many business workflows and customizations over the years adds to the complexity and cost.
  • Value Assessment: Determining whether the benefits of a new OMS outweigh the costs can be difficult, especially when evaluating long-term gains over immediate expenses.
  • Internal Resistance - Traders and IT teams often resist change due to concerns about disruptions and the steep learning curve associated with new systems.
