Mizuho Securities has developed a Web-based bond trading system on the BEA WebLogic Enterprise Platform.
The fixed income trading platform sits on BEA WebLogic Servers and includes a real-time price calculation and distribution system for government bonds, an order management system covering multiple external markets and market types, a real-time position management system, a month-end valuation system, and a front-end support system.
Additionally, Mizuho Securities selected the BEA WebLogic Enterprise Platform as its global standard infrastructure software platform, and has signed a global licensing contract with BEA Systems Japan. The company has already deployed bond trading and information distribution services in its overseas affiliates in New York and London.
Keiki Kimura, general manager and head of technology at Mizuho Securities says: "We wanted a platform that was cost-effective, enabled rapid development and deployment, and is independent, open, and standards-based."
