Velox Build Faster

Enabling Capital Markets to
Build Software Faster

Regain Control of Your Technology With BUY & BUILD

Velox is enabling software development teams across Capital Markets to build critical business software up to 10x faster.

vCore , the Velox development platform, encapsulates solutions to tough engineering challenges in reusable building blocks, so developers spend their time on business features, not hidden non-differentiating infrastructure.

vCore enables firms to move away from the traditional choices of buy or build and adopt a best-of-both-worlds approach, where they are able to buy commoditized infrastructure while retaining the ability to build their own differentiating features.

THREE Ways to Regain Control of the Tech that Differentiates You

A Buy & Build approach means tough but common engineering challenges are out-sourced, allowing internal development teams to focus on the build of features and functions that differentiate them.

Without the distraction of low-level development work, developer productivity is greatly enhanced and software builds become less risky and more affordable.

Whether or not you have a large internal development team at your disposal, there is an approach that will work for you.

Why Developers Need DEVELOPMENT PLATFORMS

Developer productivity is the negative energy holding back a firm’s desire to modernize, innovate and evolve.

The lack of objective measures makes it frustratingly hard to detect, leading CIO’s to keep hiring or try radical new paradigms, like building an army of citizen developers out of their user community.

The solution however, is already “in the building” and this untapped productivity can be unlocked with the right specialized development tools to address the problems at hand.

Critical DESIGN DECISIONS That Drive Acceleration

vCore was build by Capital Markets developers for Capital Markets developers.

vCore combines selected modern “low code” development techniques, modern infrastructure and software (web & cloud) with 25+ years of industry experience building technology driven businesses. The result is an application development platform specifically designed for the type of real-world problems Capital Markets engineering teams face.
