royalblue adds trading to Fidessa Workstation
products
royalblue, the market
leading provider of global equity trading software
and market-data systems, has further strengthened
its Fidessa Workstation offering
today with the launch of a trading module providing
a full interface to the London SETS market and
broker RSP networks.
The addition of trading facilities marks the culmination
of the product's first six months life since launch,
during which time a large user base has been establish
and a number of enhancements have been made to
continue to keep the product well ahead of the
rest of the field.
The trading services offered by this latest release
of the Fidessa Workstation utilise
the same tried, tested and robust infrastructure
approved and used by some of the biggest global
institutions in the industry. Customers of royalblue's
Fidessa trading platform already
account for over 70% of activity on the London
SETS market.
The SETS trading links provided also make use
of the new LSE Vendor Access Network, which allows
customers to share a common communications link
to the Exchange. This offers considerable cost
savings, and royalblue’s
implementation of this also provides fully redundant
and resilient links.
Access to RSP networks includes support for Merrill
Lynch, HSBC, Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, Winterfloods,
KBC Peel Hunt, Shore Capital, Aitken Campbell,
Evolution Beeson Gregory and the LSE RSP Gateway.
Access to further systems will be provided shortly.
Simon Barnby, royalblue's Business
Development Manager commented, "This is an
important step for royalblue
as the addition of transactional modules from
our enterprise systems to the Workstation product
demonstrates the flexibility of the Fidessa
platform as a whole. We are now able to mix and
match elements across the Fidessa
suite to suit the requirements of different clients
as well as those for clients with a mixture of
needs.
Supporting users of our TraderWorkstation product
on the same infrastructure and communications
links as our enterprise customers provides them
with a level of service-price combination which
is totally un-matched by our competitors."
Work is also well underway to extend the trading
links and data coverage supported by the Fidessa
Workstation to include continental European markets.
These are scheduled to become available in the
first part of 2004.
