Frictionless MiFID II ARM switchover
Switching your MiFID II transaction reporting ARM is not as complex as you might think. A new data interface is not a necessity and with AQMetrics the migration process is straightforward.

Furthermore, your firm’s existing data extracts will be improved through AQMetrics’ additional data validation and enrichment rules. Access to a test environment is provisioned to ensure your firm can seamlessly run the new transaction reporting solution in parallel, prior to the live switchover.
