General Systems Characteristics
• Global scale• Information sets are comprised from real-time
and historical sources across multiple corporate/SRO/regulatory entities
• Legacy architectures– Messaging systems– Databases
• Business Processes resemble “paved cow trails”• Terms start off with meaning (legal / contractual)
but this is eroded as data passes through numerous systems and data feeds
