Investment Bank Technology: Core Processing North American Equities Plan (IBT CP NA Equities Plan)

For Summer 2008 I worked out of the Newark, DE office for JP Morgan. I filled a support role for a plan team working on a variety of different projects. I participated in implementing the quarterly release of a fairly ubiquitous, vendor-managed processing system; I was also creating and distributing management newsletters, and designing a training platform for a highly-anticipated, globally-released application.

The take-aways were about understanding the value of project management and business process analysis. I left with a practical and applicable understanding of IT solutions and Financial Markets. The keys of success for the internship were to test what I have learned in the classroom in the real-world and to bring the practicality of the “real-world” back to the classroom.
