LONDON, UK, February 23, 2004 — Cameron Systems today announced that Standard Chartered Bank has selected the FIX protocol engine, CameronFIX, for the Bank’s global FIX connectivity strategy.
After evaluation of a number of vendor FIX engines, Standard Chartered settled on Cameron Systems for its mature and robust FIX engine that was well supported by the vendor.
"We are very pleased with CameronFIX, ease of deployment and the excellent pre and post sales support were notable. We are already working with Cameron Systems for deployment of CameronFIX into other countries for the Banks future projects. This level of quality is consistent with our strategy of leading the way," said Peter Cooper, Senior Manager - Business Technology Strategy, Standard Chartered Bank.
