Over 600 Companies Certifying FIX Connectivity
ttCERT and OpenFIX.net Drive Certification Trend
New York, NY February 19, 2002 – Over 600 institutions, brokers, ECNs/Exchanges and software vendors are certifying their external FIX implementations using TransactTools’ ttCERT and OpenFIX.net services. Such extensive industry penetration signals an industry-wide FIX certification trend.
TransactTools’ ttCERT clients include Instinet, Archipelago, Bloomberg, and JP Morgan Chase, among others. OpenFIX and OpenFIX Premium have introduced hundreds of companies around the world to the power and ease of FIX certification through a simple automated interface, helping FIX engines vendors bring their products up to spec.
“When ttCERT launched over a year ago, our industry had never seen automated and interactive connectivity testing. There was high-level talk about the value it could add, but no one was doing it so people didn’t understand the process,” said Sam Johnson, President and CEO of TransactTools Inc. “Now companies around the world clearly understand the process, not to mention the value. A comprehensive and automated testing platform increases your capacity to connect new trading partners, which makes electronic trading easier and more reliable.”
