Wholly open, standards based and centrally managed, Catalys 2.0 provides for unprecedented levels of performance, data interoperability, convergence and business insight. 2.0 is designed to further empower brokers, banks and the buy-side to aggregate, view and manage related trade data. This is FIX transactional data and latency, risk and operational data, from a multitude of disparate third party systems, gateways and applications.

First launched in 2010, Catalys is the inclusive, FIX-based ecosystem engineered on the industry acknowledged standard in FIX engines, CameronFIX. Catalys 2.0 is available from April 2012.

Chief Product Officer for CameronTec, Max Colas, says that by design CameronTec aims to provide the financial industry with its most advanced offering to operate, test and control mission-critical FIX messaging backbones. "Catalys is the instigator for exposing the many unique combinations of insightful flows that are extremely valuable for customers because they produce the business intelligence to better operate their platform. 2.0 now completes the vision we started in 2010 by adding the functional layers FIX users needed to move away from legacy, clunky, costly solutions and embrace technological evolution."

"Every day our growing team of engineers is solving latest market challenges and through innovation developing smarter solutions to address new requirements and perhaps, most importantly, provide a flexible framework for navigating the unexpected," says Anders Henriksson, CEO at CameronTec. "We look forward to introducing market participants to our latest development 2.0 and assisting them to achieve considerably greater business advantage."

Released at the same time as Catalys 2.0, latest release CameronFIX 8.0 is designed to provide users with an inroad to access valuable Catalys modules for monitoring, testing, certification, logging and performance functionality.
