The CameronFIX implementation for CEESEG currently covers around 20 financial institutions for order routing and market data. The solution also handles the interaction of orders managed by the standard trading front end software.

Today’s news follows the recent announcement by Ljubljana Exchange regarding its implementation and launch of the Xetra® trading system. By introducing Xetra to the Slovene capital market the Ljubljana Exchange is reaching one of its key strategic objectives: integration of the Slovene market into international capital markets.

“Vienna Stock Exchange provides state-of-the-art technologies and infrastructure to its members and market participants. The selection of the CameronFIX Engine is a continuation of our commitment to excellence, ensuring the smooth and efficient execution of stock exchange transactions and facilitating interaction among all market participants,” says Michael Buhl, CEO of the Vienna Stock Exchange and CEE Stock Exchange Group.

“CameronTec is pleased to be selected by the CEESEG to provide FIX connectivity for what is undoubtedly the largest exchange player in the region. We look forward to working with the Vienna and Ljubljana Exchanges to bring the broader benefits of CameronFIX to additional members of the CEE Stock Exchange Group,” commented Anders Henriksson, CEO for CameronTec.

"CameronFIX has traditionally been the preferred choice for exchanges, regulators and clearing houses seeking a high-performance, focused and independent FIX vendor," says Max Colas, Chief Product Officer for CameronTec. "In addition to countless member firms, today many exchanges are CameronFIX-enabled globally. When it comes to investing in a commercial FIX solution, exchanges value the integrity and reputation that come with the CameronFIX industry-standard."

CameronTec this month announced the release of the latest version CameronFIX 6.5.

About CEESEG

The CEE Stock Exchange Group (CEESEG) is the holding company of the four stock exchanges of Budapest, Ljubljana, Prague and Vienna. With almost half of the total market capitalization and about two-thirds of all trading volumes in equities in Central and Eastern Europe, the CEE Stock Exchange Group is the largest player of all exchanges in the region. To raise liquidity in the four markets the CEESEG eases market access and trading on the local markets. At the same time, the Group takes various coordinated measures to increase the visibility of the four markets.

CameronTec Launches Catalys, the New Industry Reference for FIX Ecosystems

London, New York & Stockholm, Wednesday 22 September 2010 — CameronTec, the financial industry’s leading provider of FIX infrastructure and connectivity solutions and wholly owned subsidiary of Orc Software, today announced the launch of the new industry reference for FIX ecosystems, Catalys. Addressing the expanding cross-functional needs of sell and buy side firms, exchanges and ISV’s, Catalys offers a highly adaptive, integrated FIX infrastructure based on the industry’s most widely-installed FIX engine, CameronFIX.

Recognizing the increasing complexity faced by firms managing decentralized FIX infrastructure in a global environment, Catalys provides enhanced flexibility, control and insight… and delivers much more than a FIX engine:

• High Availability with newly introduced flexibility for allowing trade-offs between optimal performance and data integrity in a variety of topologies,
• Unparalleled compatibility with industry standards for full JMX monitoring, configuration and management,
• Runtime configuration for increased operational flexibility,
• Defined benchmark performance enhancements, and
• Powerful developer testing tools for faster, rigorous development lifecycle and migration — that symbiotically combines JMX and FIX scenarios.

Anders Henriksson, CEO for CameronTec, says: "Catalys reflects our ongoing commitment to provide the industry with the continued and compelling innovation our clients need in today's increasingly competitive markets. As an ISV, we benefit from unique insight into the world of FIX that can only come from a concentration of the world’s largest, in-production FIX user-base. For many firms, isolated FIX engines do not address the additional complexities for controlling a global FIX environment."

Max Colas, Chief Product Officer for CameronTec, adds: “Catalys has come about through challenging established paradigms. Its release signals the breaking of legacy FIX deployment patterns, and the formation of a new connectivity cornerstone that enables users to achieve the convergence of the flows of FIX data with the flows that manage the FIX data. Catalys offers an unprecedented environment to develop, test, deploy and operate advanced FIX infrastructures.”

“Marking a new direction for CameronTec and the worldwide financial industry, Catalys combines the strength of years of experience in FIX, based on our long‐time CameronFIX engine, with framework additions to develop, test, benchmark, configure, deploy and monitor FIX infrastructure,” comments Steve Christinson, Chief Technology Officer for CameronTec. “Catalys targets a number of industry sweet-spots such as latency. In this regard we have shaved off significant performance fat for both exchange collocation and FIX hubs, with an additional throughput premium on the latter.”

Out of the box, Catalys provides the scalability of a management infrastructure that uses the JMX industry standard allowing application configuration that can be monitored and performance- controlled. Catalys is taking FIX further. It is the next generation FIX.

In line with our commitment to respond to customer needs and deliver performance enhancements through incremental CameronFIX version upgrades, CameronTec will release CameronFIX Version 6.5 during Q4.
