The Exchange of Everything: The ultimate technology disruptor ITProPortal.com

The technology world is on the verge of one of its biggest ever waves of disruption, as the intersection of the Internet of Things and Real Time Communications gives birth to the Exchange of Everything. This new concept is reminiscent of the technology trend that swept through Wall Street back in the 1990s. I came into Wall Street fresh out of college, building trading floor technology that helped firms keep up with the growth of the public markets and introduction of new platforms. This meant building and engineering sophisticated trader voice applications connecting thousands of participants – buyers, sellers, brokers, banks and, of course, exchanges. It was'real time all the time' with 24-hour global trades emerging, where seconds meant millions and there was no tolerance for anything other than'pin drop' audio.
