SINGAPORE, Oct. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SunGard has won "Best New
Product 每 Trading and Execution" in the 2012 FOW Awards for Asia
for the extension of its Valdi(http://www.sungard.com/en/sitecore/content/campaigns/fs/globaltrading/360trading/solutions/trademanagement.aspx )
solution and the SunGard Global Network(http://www.sungard.com/campaigns/fs/globaltrading/360trading/solutions/globalnetwork.aspx )
(SGN) into China.
SunGard has added access to China in the past year, and brokerage
firms are already using Valdi and SGN to access the three major
commodity futures exchanges, Dalian, Shanghai and Zhengzhou, and
the CFFEX financial futures venue. Customers also offer direct
market access and care order services to buy-side firms via
SGN.
SunGard's Valdi gateway software provides access to more than 140
trading venues worldwide, which supports Software as a Service*
(SaaS) connectivity to more than 110 venues.
In addition, SGN delivers normalized, real-time price data from
more than 110 venues via more than 25 hubs in financial centers
worldwide. It connects more than 2,100 asset managers and more than
500 brokerage firms for rapid and efficient order routing and
trading.
William Mitting, editor of FOW, said, "Our awards recognize
technology companies that have solved a problem creatively, opened
up new possibilities, or changed the way participants approach the
region. The costs and operational complexity involved in low
latency exchange connectivity in China are high, making Valdi's
managed service particularly valuable for local and international
brokers."
Nasser Khodri, managing director for SunGard's capital markets
business in Asia Pacific, said, "SunGard has steadily expanded its
connectivity over the years, aiming to be present wherever
electronic trading is developing and actively participating in its
progress. As China's financial and commodity markets gradually open
to foreign investors, SunGard is once again serving the local
participants at an early stage while helping international
customers take advantage of new opportunities."
*SunGard Financial Systems is transforming the way its software
solutions are created and delivered to its customers. With the
introduction of a new visionary, integrated technology blueprint,
new delivery models are created and additional functionality
embedded. Underlying technologies include a service-oriented
architecture (SOA) development framework, a business process
management platform (Infinity Process Platform) and a delivery
platform to enable Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) based
solutions.
