US-based software house Trading Systems Associates has released its Standards Integration Server, enabling integration between Tibco-based trading systems and extranet and Web services application suites.
The software is designed to enable financial services firms to retro-fit their TIB market data platforms to accommodate new e-commerce and extranet efforts, including planned Web services-oriented institutional and retail trading and information portals.
The SIS overcomes common integration issues for TIB users, says TS-Associates, by applying Web-based data presentation, semantics and content transport standards such as XML, Soap (simple object access protocol) and HTTP protocols.
Henry Young, director of product strategy at TS-Associates says: "We have built a range of gateways, adapters and API mappings covering just about every data management paradigm going."
He says the SIS is designed to support the planned integration of TIB and Reuters technologies to create the Trading Solutions Architecture (TSA).
