"To confirm, we'd no impact across most of our client estate, one of the largest in global capital markets. Our engineers have been in the trenches helping clients all day. The feedback is that some firms have seen huge impact with thousands or tens of thousands of servers down. Each needs to be restarted, one at a time, from the console, slow, painful process. It also means all the systems need brought up. Could easily take 2-3 weeks of round the clock engineering work. Brutal. It is unlikely the full extend of the fall out will be known for a few days." - Danny Moore, President & CEO #crowdstrike
For a very quick update on the Crowdstrike world wide IT outage. All the core Options Technology systems are running clean for now. We're monitoring the situation very closely and have deployed engineers to help clients experiencing issues in non-Options managed systems. We don't use Crowdstrike internally or in any of our standard client architectures. In recent years we've focussed on leveraging the core MSFT stack tooling (Defender, Sentinel, etc) along with agent-less internally developed tooling. Drop me a DM if you've any questions.

Options Technology reposted this
📣 Exciting day at the Digital DNA conference in St George’s Market! Thrilled to speak about my plans for the year ahead, and the incredible opportunities the tech sector is creating. 🌟 From innovative startups to leading companies, Belfast is at the forefront of technological change, driving growth and creating dynamic career paths. Proud that Belfast City Council are helping to shaping the future! It also gave my the chance to talk about my recent visit to New York and how impressed I was by the great working going on at Options Technology, a company built and based in Belfast with offices now all over the world, who are changing the face of FinTech technology. #DigitalDNA #TechInnovation #BelfastTech #CareerOpportunities #FutureOfTech

Someone reminded me that this month it is also 9 years since the first Options Technology Belfast graduate and placement student intake. The vision, to seed Support Desk 2.0, now arguably the best front office IT support team in global Capital Markets. Greatest placement student cohort of all time? All still thriving 9 years on.

We’re thrilled to put £10,000 behind the bar for this week’s Belfast market data meet up on Thursday. It’s 20 years to the week since the first group of Wombat Financial Software graduate hires started in the office above Maggie Mays on Botanic Avenue. That group were the original seeds of what is now a top 5 global market data engineering hub alongside New York, London and Chicago. Remarkable progress, and likely just the start. We’ve already had RSVPs from over 25 local firms, a testament to the dept and breadth of the sector here. Please come along to celebrate our amazing journey. Thursday at the Jailhouse. Everyone welcome, even the folks from Pico. Options Technology Robert Strawbridge #Belfast #MarketData #Anniversary #GlobalHub
