Gissing Software, the routing and transformation application providers, have released Gissing RealtimeXL 3.0. The application is designed to make it easier for traders to handle and manipulate real-time market data within Microsoft Excel. The add-in includes an enhanced toolbar, data viewer, and administration interface.
Gissing RealtimeXL 3.0 aims to deliver three new wizard formula builders, allowing users to quickly discover and access live or historical data informats such as tables and chains. For example, the Chain Wizard enables users to process chained data, such as FTSE 100 stock prices, with a single click and to unsnap data chains as required. The Table Wizard makes it quicker for users to identify and filter multiple real-time data records from providers such as Reuters and Bloomberg and incorporate this data within the appropriate table. The History Wizard allows users to easily select historical data forinclusion in their spreadsheets by specifying any two of a start date, end date and duration. All the wizards support record and field discovery where provided by the data platform.
“Since releasing Gissing Realtime XL version 2.2 in October 2006 we have seen significant uptake of the product,” says Nick Braybrooke, the product manager for Gissing RealtimeXL. “Users have been impressed with the speed and high performance of the software, particularly when compared against rival applications. Version 3.0 adds significant usability enhancements, together with a further improvement in performance, allowing buy-side and sell-side users to benefit from both greater flexibility and maximum performance.”
