Rebar technology utilizes an event driven architecture that allows modules, algos, analytics and more to interact and respond in real-time to any data accessible by the systems. Our technology stack includes:
- DbServer – A toolkit that provides much of the underlying functionality any application would need such as communication & connectivity protocols, integration capabilities, security, market connectivity, monitoring, messaging, routing and recovery. In addition, there are a number of business modules such as Order Manager, Order Router, Quote Messenger and more within DbServer.
- Data Virtualization Engine – Rebar's DVE provides an approach to consolidating disparate data sources to gain greater insights into a company’s data. DVE allows data to respond in real-time or near real-time to event changes or new information. DVE improves query and reporting capabilities while saving significant costs over tradition data replication, consolidation and warehousing approaches. Simply stated, it provides instant access to all the data you want, when you want it, the way you want it. (see Rebar’s Data Virtualization Engine for more information)
- Scripting Engine – Rebar’s scripting engine can be used to create and inject business logic to manage workflows, perform real-time analytics or trading algo’s, enrich data, and more. The system is language agnostic and can be made to work with multiple scripting languages.
- Business Modules - Rebar has a number of business modules that can be used to reduce time to market for custom development activities such as an EMS, a product master, market data connectivity, trading algorithms and more.
What processes does Rebar follow to ensure success?
Our first step is to fully understand your problem areas and business goals, and work with you to build and agree upon a high level IT strategy plan that meets all your requirements.
Once agreed, we allocate a well-balanced team of project managers, business analysts, architects, developers, QA testers, and infrastructure experts. Our staff is made up of seasoned professionals averaging over 18 years of experience. Working together with your team, we implement a fully integrated Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process from requirements gathering and design to deployment and support. Rebar utilizes a number of development methodologies depending on what works best for a joint Rebar - client team, however, we predominately use an agile methodology as it provides shorter, more focused delivery targets resulting in many added benefits including:
We implement a governance process to provide transparency and decision making capabilities to senior management. This process includes:

Rebar utilizes a number of development methodologies depending on what works best for a joint Rebar - client team, however, we predominately use an agile methodology as it provides shorter, more focused delivery targets resulting in many added benefits including:
- Focused scope – Each project is broken into multiple releases. Each release is made up of multiple iterations. Each iteration has fully defined feature set that are agreed upon beforehand. This allows for much tighter project overview resulting in delivery that is on time and on budget.
- Reliable outcome – All code goes through pre-defined SDLC toll gates including code reviews, security code reviews, QA sign-off, and user sign-off ensuring that all functionality meets the requirements specified.
- Faster time to market – Each interim delivery is designed to add additional business functionality that can be used immediately.
- Continuous learning – We regularly review metrics such as bug remediation tickets, support tickets, and user feedback to assess and improve the efficiency and accuracy of our SDLC processes.
We implement a governance process to provide transparency and decision making capabilities to senior management. This process includes:
- Regular governance meetings and project communication
- Requirements and IT design sign-off
- Risk and issue assessments
- Change control including impact analysis of added scope
