This partnership gives Portware clients a powerful and highly flexible visual analytics solution that allows traders to intelligently monitor any real-time or historical trading data.

Portware's trading solutions combine advanced trading and analytics technology, access to all global liquidity providers and a highly flexible trade architecture that supports firms' complex workflow integration requirements. The company's suite of products, including Portware Enterprise, Portware FX and Strategy Server, has been deployed at leading hedge funds, asset managers and broker dealers worldwide.

The new Panopticon-enabled data visualization capabilities available from Portware make visual analysis of streaming market data vastly more efficient than it is on traditional systems. They also allow users to analyze real-time data — including transaction costs, instrument performance, portfolio analytics and other critical parameters — in context by federating data from large historical databases with real-time streaming feeds for comparison and trend identification purposes.

Ary Khatchikian, President and CTO of Portware, commented, "Traders today must be able to analyze complex data in real-time to maintain their competitive advantage. Using Panopticon's flexible visualization environment, Portware clients can now access powerful data visualization capabilities to create customized, intuitive displays that provide a wealth of information about current and historical trade data, from time series charts to portfolio-level risk and attribution analyses."

Chris Elsmore, Panopticon's Senior Vice President, said, "Portware's system is one of the most sophisticated and customizable trading platforms available. Their partnership with Panopticon is especially valuable to clients; Panopticon-enabled Portware solutions include extensible and flexible visualization technology that will help traders rapidly respond to changing market conditions. We are delighted to be working with Portware to provide capital market firms with the efficient visual data analysis capabilities they need in mission critical trading applications."

As a Panopticon reseller, Portware will also provide additional Panopticon implementations to clients in order to support visual analysis of other databases and streaming feeds.
