FixSpec Adds Anonymous Client Access To Cloud Certification Platform

Automated certification emulator + Benefits of cloud - Infosec headache

London, 11 October 2013

FixSpec announces immediate support for anonymous client access to its cloud development and certification platform. The enhancement allows brokers to offer their clients access to an advanced interface emulator platform while addressing concerns around customer confidentiality, by allowing connections to be certified without ever revealing the identity, CompID or even IP address of the underlying client.

"We are seeing strong interest in our certification platform because of both the improved developer experience it provides and our cost effective, fixed price subscription model. While the significant cost savings of hosted solution are clear, the question of client confidentiality has come up in many of our conversations with major sell side firms. Today's announcement takes the problem off the table" explained FixSpec founder Chris Lees.

Unlike other automated certification offerings, the FixSpec platform eschews rigid, scripted certification scenarios in favour of an accurate, unscripted emulator to allow developers to freely explore an interface, and to receive realistic responses based on their own activity instead of canned responses. The platform is offered as a fixed price subscription model without any hidden consulting or development fees.

The certification platform is currently used by Aquis Exchange as it prepares for launch later in the year.
