One year after the creation of the IT-Quants web site, the goal is quite reached: about 250 posts in the forum messages, almost 20 samples on the resources, with at least 5 main projects and a lot of code, a push of jobs offered by eFinancialCareers and Jobserve.com, several recruiters who post directly missions on the Careers page, about 250 registered users, issued from all investement banks, clients of Sophis, worldwide: Europe, North America, Middle East, Asia, and, following the day of the week, between 300 and 500 views per day.

For next year, only one wish: more public participations in the forum, even if private messages and conversations occur outside this web site.

This is an "unofficial" user group web site, dedicated to the users, developers and recruiters working around the products of the Sophis company. By unofficial, it means that we are not sponsorised by Sophis, even if their members are authorized to take a look on the content of this site.

We provide meetings and discussion forums in a neutral environment where all users, clients and contractors, can network, exchange experiences, and receive presentations from selected relevant companies. We do not pass membership details to anyone outside our organisation. We are an independent organisation, operated and managed for the benefit of our members.

Membership is free but opened and restricted to all customers and persons working on Sophis products.

We provide numerous events throughout the year, covering a wide range of topics relevant to the operation and implementation of Sophis software, and including presentations by users on their own experiences, and by selected vendors on their products where we feel these will be relevant and of interest.

All of our operations are conducted in line with our company principles, which are:

 We have a number of forums, which cover most areas of Sophis software as well as many other aspects of implementation, training and support.

The IT Quants web site was started in May 2007 by Philippe Bonneau, independent consultant and toolkitter.
