B2BITS® releases a set of products for Intercontinental Exchange connectivity
New York - June 29, 2009 - B2BITS®, EPAM Systems' Capital Markets Competency Center providing tools and technologies for exchange connectivity, OMS and EMS solutions, is pleased to announce the release of a product suite for Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) connectivity - ICE Trade Capture. B2BITS® has developed the product, fully certified with the exchange, to solve the problem many market participants will face as a result of the planned decommissioning of the ICE Java API in November 2009. The product has Java, .NET, and C++ libraries, as well as an application server - all pre-configured to work with ICE.
The libraries are used for tightly integrated trading applications, which connect directly to ICE (see FIX Antenna Java, FIX Antenna C++, and FIX Antenna .NET sections). The FIXEdge-based application server allows fully automating process of capturing trades from ICE and completely encapsulating all the specifics of the ICE connectivity.
ICE Trade Capture has the following features:
- Fully supports workflow defined ICE for trade capture
- Inserts trade capture messages into client side SQL database
- Automatically manages security definition table
- Has multiple ways to integrate with internal systems via database, TIB, MQ and other supported by FIXEdge middleware
- Has cluster ready configuration
- Includes scripts for trades reconciliation in case of failures of connection to ICE
- Operations are scheduled and fully automated
The deployment of this solution will provide clients with the following benefits:
- Re-use of a proven technology offering (FIXEdge server)
- Reduced time to deployment
- Reduced cost of implementation
- Reduced cost of operation
- Lower technical risk for support and maintenance
The certified hosted solution is provided by SDS Financial Technologies. B2BITS helps integrate and certify clients' hosted solutions.
