Fidessa LatentZero secures best buy-side solution EMS award
Fidessa LatentZero’s EMS Workstation has taken a top prize at the first ever Buy-Side Technology Awards. It saw off stiff competition from strong contenders to win the Best Buy-side EMS category.
Richard Jones, CEO of Fidessa LatentZero said: “The EMS Workstation product is an extension of Fidessa LatentZero’s comprehensive front office solutions for the buy-side, and utilises Fidessa’s global connectivity network to provide managed links to world markets through the agency, algorithmic and DMA trading services of around 230 brokers globally. It is a demonstration of the power of the Fidessa and LatentZero combination, and we are pleased that it has been recognised by Buy-Side Technology magazine.”
The Fidessa LatentZero EMS Workstation is a broker-neutral, low-latency trading application for equities and equity derivatives for global markets, and is available as a fully hosted ASP solution which is quick to deploy and requires minimal or no technical support by the company’s clients. It provides out-of-the-box access to a comprehensive set of execution venues, with global market data and news provided from the company’s high performance ticker plant.
It is available as a standalone workstation, as a staged solution from any OMS or order source through FIX, or as a fully integrated part of the Capstone Minerva™ Order and Execution Management System (OEMS), the market’s first single system to provide comprehensive OMS and EMS functionality in one application.
The product was launched in 2005 and is now used by over 130 firms.
