Fidessa group plc has won the Readers’ Choice Award for the Best Trading Platform/Order Management Product in the European Banking Technology Awards 2007.
Fidessa’s Trading Platform provides multi-asset trading for many of Europe’s brokers. Trading is provided through Fidessa’s global FIX connectivity network with access to 83 equity and derivatives exchanges, 230 brokers and 1300 buy-side institutions worldwide.
Now in its 8th year, the European Banking Technology awards are designed to reflect excellence across a range of IT activities. This year saw the introduction of the Readers’ Choice Awards, with Banking Technology readers asked to vote for their choice of what they consider to be the best systems in a range of categories.
“We are delighted to accept this award and particularly pleased that our winning position in this category was the result of readers’ votes. We have strengthened our market leading trading platform over the last year or so with the addition of a number of new features: the ability to trade multiple assets on a single low-latency platform; the introduction of our fully integrated algorithmic management system, Bluebox; and the launch of a new suite of products to deliver full MiFID compliance. This award is testament to the success of these initiatives in meeting the increasingly complex trading needs of our users across Europe and globally,” says Philip Slavin, head of European product strategy, Fidessa.
