To bring well-established best practices from science, engineering and product development to market finance, the team at Allied Testing had to overcome many challenges: a fluid regulatory environment; dynamic market Environments; and evolving, non-standardized communication protocols. To meet these challenges, BEST Studio incorporates unique technologies and solutions.

• Model-based high fidelity exchange simulation environment. 
• Simulator-blocks that recreate into most complex financial environments.
