European FIX Users Survey 2002

Imported from previous forum

We would like to introduce the first annual European FIX Users Survey, which will take place during March/April 2002.

The aim of the survey is to help European participants, users and vendors express their opinions and benchmark themselves against the average responses of other participants on a broad range of FIX-topics ranging from implementation to usage and future trends. The survey will be of interest to the entire buy-side, sell-side and vendor communities.

FIX Protocol Limited has editorial control of the survey, and DCE Consulting will be operating the survey on our behalf. The results will be presented as anonymous averages, and no permanent record of individual responses will be kept. The results will be given free to all respondents. Included in the publication will be the list of respondents. It is envisaged that some or all of the results will be available on the fixprotocol.org website, at a later date.

If you would like to participate in the survey please contact Steve Dawes at DCE Consulting:

We will be posting the questionnaire on the fixprotocol.org website shortly.
