Cinnober launches full exchange solution as a service
Cinnober today announces the launch of TESS(TM) - a Software as a Service (SaaS)
offering for exchanges and marketplaces. Cinnober has a strong track record of
delivering customized exchange solutions to some of the world's most demanding
marketplaces, based on the high-performance TRADExpress(TM) Trading System. TESS
stands for TRADExpress Streamlined Services and makes Cinnober's proven
marketplace technology available as a subscription service.
The service comprises a fully hosted and managed exchange system with a wide set
of add-ons to shape and extend the service, including market surveillance. The
capacity in terms of number of trading members and throughput can be scaled up
on demand, allowing customers to start small and grow quickly.
The service pricing is based on usage in terms of capacity level, asset classes
and functions. The subscription fee covers both software license and services,
and there are no major startup costs. Time to market is usually only a matter of
weeks.
"TESS is ideal for start-up trading venues with lean, business-focused
organizations, as well as small to medium sized exchanges that need to replace
legacy technology with a scalable, functionality-rich solution" Jan Arpi, CEO at
Cinnober says. "With this service we offer Cinnober's proven technology to
players who need to get up and running quickly with a limited start-up cost and
still get a long-term solution with the flexibility to grow. It removes the need
for our customers to build their own operations department; we take care of all
that for them."
The trading system offered within TESS is a pre-configured version of Cinnober's
TRADExpress Trading System. It's formed as a standard package, including the
most common market models and trading functionality, with a complementary set of
add-ons to pick from independently to adapt to current and future business
needs. The standard package provides, for instance, a transparent order-driven
market with one asset class, while dark pool functionality, quote management and
additional asset classes can be selected as add-ons.
Another available add-on in TESS is Scila Surveillance, a highly efficient
market surveillance system launched in early 2009 and quickly implemented at
several leading equity and derivatives markets.
TESS is provided from financial centers in Asia, Europe and North America.
