MAKE YOUR MARKETS STACK WORK AS ONE
How capital markets firms are modernizing legacy technology, business-critical internal applications and fragmented workflows — without adding cost, risk or another layer of complexity
Capital markets firms are managing legacy platforms, business-critical internal applications, fragmented workflows and a growing wave of AI-enabled software.
The challenge is deciding what to modernise, connect, replace or build — without adding unnecessary cost, risk or disruption.
Genesis helps firms solve these problems with targeted, production-ready software.

What we’re seeing across capital markets technology
Watch: What is changing in capital markets software — and how firms are responding
Legacy modernization, business-critical internal applications, fragmented environments and AI-enabled development are changing the technology decisions financial institutions need to make.
In this short interview, Will Brown, Manager, Sales Engineering, of Genesis shares what we are seeing across major capital markets firms, why these challenges are increasingly interconnected, and how institutions are deciding what to modernise, connect, replace or build.
GENESIS GIVES FIRMS ANOTHER PATH
The challenge isn’t creating more software. It’s getting the right software into production
AI and new development tools are making it easier for both business and technology teams to create applications, code and prototypes.
But production software in capital markets still has to integrate with complex environments, meet security and regulatory requirements, withstand testing, provide auditability and remain supportable over time.
At the same time, firms are still dealing with business-critical spreadsheets, internally built applications, legacy platforms, manual processes and systems that were never designed to work together. A wholesale technology replacement is not always practical — or necessary.
Our approach
Modernise. Replace. Connect. Build.
The right answer depends on the business requirement and the existing technology environment.
Modernise
Extend or modernise legacy applications where the core technology still works but workflows, user experience or surrounding capabilities need to change.
Replace
Replace business-critical applications built in Excel or Python, or ageing internal systems, when they have outgrown the controls, support or resilience for which they were originally designed.
Connect
Connect established platforms, internal applications, data and workflows so they operate more effectively together — without requiring a wholesale infrastructure replacement.
Build
Build a targeted new capability when the existing environment cannot meet the business requirement — using proven components and Genesis Create to accelerate delivery.
Built for the realities of capital markets
Whichever route you take, Genesis combines:
- Proven software components that reduce what needs to be created from scratch
- Built-in security and governance to support compliance, auditability and operational resilience
- Capital markets patterns and expertise based on complex financial workflows and architectures
- Genesis Create-powered software delivery that uses AI to accelerate development while preserving the controls and production standards required by financial institutions
- Flexible delivery with Genesis able to design, build, manage and operate software for clients; where appropriate, client technology teams can also use Genesis Create directly
The result is faster delivery, greater control and better cost economics.

Genesis will be in Riyadh from 14–16 September, meeting with banks, brokers and capital markets leaders about the software priorities they are trying to move forward.
If you are looking at how to connect fragmented systems, modernise a legacy application, bring a business-critical internal application or workflow under greater control, or deliver a new capability without a lengthy traditional development program, we would welcome the opportunity to compare what we are seeing globally with your priorities.
