Lasalletech Partners with CameronTec
London & New York: Tuesday 23 March 2010 — CameronTec, the financial industry’s leading provider of FIX infrastructure and connectivity solutions, today announced during the FIX Protocol EMEA Conference in London a partner agreement with US-based Financial Information eXchange (FIX) adoption specialists, Lasalletech.
Headed by founding FIX Protocol member and current co-chair of the FIX Protocol’s Americas Regional Committee Jim Northey, Lasalletech will provide global professional services for CameronTec around its flagship product CameronFIX; universally regarded as the reference standard for reliable, mature FIX engine applications.
“As FIX pervades all tiers of the market and performance and security imperatives press on all participants, vendors must step up to ensure FIX remains attainable for all. Today’s announcement illustrates CameronTec’s commitment to provide the broader financial community with a sharper customer-centric focus and more dedicated resources to achieve this,” says Max Colas, Chief Product Officer of CameronTec. “Many firms will welcome the possibility to tap Lasalletech’s line of effective and affordable tools and FIX expertise to certify, manage or fine-tune their CameronFIX deployment.”
“We are very pleased with the reintroduction of the “Cameron” moniker in the industry and the focus CameronTec will bring to one of the industry’s most widely installed and successful FIX product offerings,” says Jim Northey, Co-founder of Lasalletech. “Our partner agreement with CameronTec builds upon our past successes with Orc Software especially in terms of custom exchange gateways. Our CameronTec partnership greatly complements our recent announcement of reseller agreements for our products with Chelmer in Asia and the middle east and Macdonald Associates in EMEA.”
CameronFIX today is the outcome of 12+ years continuous investment in FIX performance, scalability, interoperability and robustness. Larger investment firms, brokers, exchanges and regulators on all five continents, and an increasing number of boutique firms seeking high standards for FIX, use CameronFIX for their high performance FIX applications. What is clear and apparent for most, is the criticality their FIX applications will play in their pursuit of liquidity amid continued market fragmentation and the emergence of new venues.
During the course of its commercial life, many technology companies have developed long and successful partner service offerings around the CameronFIX Engine. These include Japan-based MetaBit and South African-based Peresys. For a full list of proven CameronFIX partners refer http://www.camerontec.com/partners/
