Fidessa Workstation goes international
royalblue (LSE: RYB)
has today announced the launch of international
equity market coverage for its rapidly evolving
Fidessa Workstation product.
The first phase of the new data coverage will
include access to Level 1 prices across continental
European equity markets, with access to US markets
and Level 2 content due to follow soon after.
Real-time and delayed information is both fully
supported.
As part of the implementation of this new data,
royalblue has developed new ticker-plant
technology to handle high-volume, real-time feeds
from numerous Exchanges and other sources.
Direct Exchange links are the primary route used
for key market data, with backup and secondary
markets, covered by a recently extended deal with
Comstock, a division of Interactive Data Corporation
(NYSE: IDC) and a leading provider of real-time
global market data. This deal also provides for
coverage of value-added corporate actions, descriptive
data and pricing fundamentals.
Simon Barnby, Business Development Manager at
royalblue, commented "We
have been asked by many of our existing UK Workstation
customers for access to equity data from additional
markets. This new data will let us extend our
presence significantly in our current client-base
and also target many new customers as well”.
The ability to trade these new markets through
the Workstation, either directly as a member or
via the growing broker network as a non-member,
will be launched later in the year as the Workstation
is further integrated into royalblue’s
FidessaExpress transaction network.
FidessaExpress provides connectivity
between buy- and sell-side institutions as well
as direct trading links to Exchanges and other
electronic pools of liquidity. Currently FidessaExpress
connects to over 100 buy-side firms, 14 Exchanges
and 18 Brokers as well as the royalblue
Fidessa user-base.
This integration with FidessaExpress
will provide Workstation clients with unparalleled
order routing and trading facilities.
