Calypso Technology, a provider of capital markets trading software applications, has received Certified Alliance Partner status under Markit’s certification program which was launched in January, 2007. Calypso is the first provider of trading and trade processing applications to successfully complete the certification program.
“Calypso has invested in an ongoing partnership with Markit for several years – we were the first vendor to integrate RED in 2004 and have expanded the integration of Markit data throughout our credit derivatives solution,” says Charles Marston, CEO of Calypso Technology, Inc. “Beyond the certification, we continue to look at new ways to interface to Markit’s offerings, for example, through our project to integrate Markit’s Reference Cashflow Database for clients using Calypso to trade CDS on ABS.”
“We are delighted to recognize Calypso as the first trading and processing solution provider among our alliance partners to receive formal certification,” adds Nicola von Schroeter, Global Head of the Markit Alliance Program. “Calypso has proven the quality of its integration work, a process that was accelerated by the strength of the partnership between the two firms and the technical skills of individuals on both sides.”
