Citi is a global investment bank and financial services company. For decades they have helped Traders execute orders through their trading infrastructure. They believe that stability and security are critical features of this service. For the last 20 years since electronic trading became commonplace, their internal systems have become more and more complicated just like every other sell side broker.To achieve the best prices for customers, an order passing through Citi's internal systems gets broken up and passed through dozens of proprietary order management systems (OMSs). Each OMS cluster has its own dashboard designed for that particular OMS. The first OMS cluster is the direct connection to the client, and Citi has thousands of these OMSs.
