I would say that if the desk does not allready rely on a major analytics package written in C++ then Java or C# (.NET) is the best way to proceed. Preferable u build a basic API containing the instruments u need and pricing engines etc. However, I would sya that Smartspread is one of the best tools u can find on a market to fast and robust trade modelling.
