72% of Organizations are Restricted by Their Trading Capabilities

Sybase, Inc., an industry leader in delivering enterprise and mobile software, today announced the results of a global survey of 220 investment bankers and risk managers in April 2009, which shows that many organizations’ technology is restricting their trading capabilities.
