OSI is an industry-wide program that will replace the existing system for identifying and communicating exchange-listed options contracts with a new naming convention better able to support non-standard options. "ALaS has a history of providing the financial services industry with process analysis, process re-engineering, project management and testing expertise. We have an experienced OSI team and a comprehensive conversion framework to help our clients comply with the new Symbology Initiative," said Erik DiGiacomo, president of ALaS Consulting.

- Readiness Assessment: review infrastructure to identify key risks and potential mitigation strategies
