CameronTec Announces New Global Partner E2E infotech

Terms of the Agreement Cover the Middle East and India

London, UK: Wednesday 9 June 2010 — CameronTec, the financial industry’s leading provider of FIX infrastructure and connectivity solutions, today announced a global partner agreement with financial technology provider E2E infotech, a subsidiary of aurionPro Solutions Limited (NSE : AURIONPRO, BSE: AURIONPRO). The terms of the agreement also give E2E infotech specific CameronFIX reseller rights for the Middle East and India.

While focusing on the emerging Indian and Middle Eastern markets, E2E infotech are also well positioned globally with offices in New York, London, Mumbai and Singapore. This new alliance will bolster coverage in key emerging markets and complement core professional services for CameronFIX, the engine universally regarded as the reference standard for reliable, mature FIX applications. E2E infotech is currently participating with large CameronFIX installations in both Europe and Asia Pacific.

While E2E infotech was recently acquired by leading Asia Pacific technology provider aurionPro, it has also enjoyed a long direct association with CameronTec’s parent company, Orc Software. Indeed, E2E infotech’s origins a decade ago were the result of a joint venture between Orc Software and UniCredit’s UBM.

“With the uptake of the FIX protocol gaining momentum within India and the Middle East, these regions are increasingly presenting considerable opportunity for CameronTec,” says Anders Henriksson, CEO, CameronTec. “We are confident E2E infotech’s valuable local experience and knowledge in these and additional geographies will help provide the necessary support and technical delivery required to service the continuing global expansion of CameronFIX.”

“We are very pleased to be partnering with CameronTec and look forward to actively working with the financial industry’s most widely accepted FIX offering,” says Nirav Shah, CEO, E2E infotech. “The continued growth we see in electronic connectivity within emerging markets such as India and the Middle East means these regions continue to close the gap on broader FIX trading practices evidenced in more developed markets.”

During the course of its commercial life, many technology companies have developed long and successful partner service offerings around the CameronFIX Engine. These include Japan-based MetaBit and South African-based Peresys. For a full list of authorised CameronFIX partners refer to CameronTec Partners

Orc Software establishes focused CameronFIX subsidiary, CameronTec

London, New York, Hong Kong & Stockholm: Tuesday 2 March 2010 — Orc Software (SSE: ORC), the leading global provider of technology for advanced trading and connectivity, today announced the establishment of a dedicated CameronFIX subsidiary to be known as CameronTec.

Recognizing the increasing importance FIX will play in the worldwide financial industry, the new focused organization will provide greater responsiveness, while continuing to access and benefit from resources of the broader Orc group.

Orc Software acquired CameronFIX in 2006 through its purchase of software technology company Cameron Systems. Then and increasingly so now, CameronFIX is universally regarded as the reference standard for reliable, mature FIX engine applications. It is the only long-established, FIX engine that continues to deliver significant version upgrades year after year.

“The establishment of CameronTec reflects our conviction that customer needs, marketing and sales initiatives, as well as the further development of the CameronFIX offering will be best served by a dedicated organisation,” said Thomas Bill, CEO, Orc Software. “There are obvious synergies between the various Orc technologies, and we will continue to fully leverage these.”

The flagship CameronFIX engine today is the outcome of 12+ years continuous investment in FIX performance, scalability, interoperability and robustness. Larger investment firms, brokers, exchanges and regulators on all five continents use CameronFIX for their high performance FIX applications. What is clear and apparent for most, is the criticality their FIX applications will play in their pursuit of liquidity amid continued market fragmentation and the emergence of new venues.

“For our existing CameronFIX customers as well as the broader financial services community this is a particularly positive development as it signals a sharper customer centric focus, dedicated resources, a more nimble engineering foundation and a renewed strategy for the continued strengthening of the CameronFIX Engine,” says Anders Henriksson, CEO of CameronTec.

Steve Christinson, CTO of CameronTec, comments: “In line with our commitment to deliver continuous and significant product upgrades, the imminent CameronFIX 7 release will address real-time operational requirements. Going forward, CameronFIX users will be able to not only safely modify their configurations in real-time, but also to configure, manage and monitor their entire park of FIX engines through industry-standard JMX. This development strengthens the already operationally robust and highly performant CameronFIX Engine with an advanced makeover. In keeping with our engineering strategy, we are also continually looking for ways to further improve performance particularly in the area of our pure software High Availability solution.”

Leading the operation and playing significant roles in the growth of CameronTec will be Anders Henriksson as Chief Executive Officer, Steve Christinson as Chief Technology Officer, Max Colas as Chief Product Officer and Annie Walsh as Chief Marketing Officer; representing former senior and executive management of Orc Software. Steve Christinson and Annie Walsh additionally held senior management positions with CameronFIX founding company, Cameron Systems. The collective experience of these individuals means the firm opens its doors with over 20 years experience in FIX and specifically CameronFIX applications and performance.

CameronTec has been operational since January 2010 with a dedicated team of seasoned professionals with extensive backgrounds and expertise across all elements of the global financial landscape — trading, sales, product development, customer service and of course, technology. To serve a growing global customer base, CameronTec operates from its offices in London, New York, Chicago, Paris, Hong Kong, Sydney and Stockholm.
