What is required in a trading solution that maximizes the probability that investors and dealers find the other side of a trade?

Connectivity to as many broker-dealers as possible
Ability to trade directly with many other institutional investors
Trading technology that allows maximum flexibility in how to execute trades
An independent, trustworthy trading venue with no affiliation with any particular broker-dealer or investment management firm
