WITH EXP AND EXP.0 YOU ARE READY TO TRADE ON EURONEXT Optiq®

Following Euronext’s acquisition of Borsa Italiana, Borsa Italiana’s markets are merging onto the Euronext Markets Optiq® platform to form the largest European liquidity pool.

ATS, as a certified ISV, has adapted all the features of the EXP/EXP.0 platforms provided by the “private cloud” and on-premises, at the customers’ data centers:

• order/execution management, for the management and execution of orders with direct access to the market
• market data dissemination, for the distribution and standardization of market data and for powering trading control applications for compliance purposes
• deal capture/middle-office, for the acquisition and standardization of data on executed orders that feed, in real time, the post-trade chain (position keeping, risk management, back-office, compliance).

“The project began in the summer of last year, and we have successfully reached the goal of the first phase envisaged by Borsa Italiana’s migration plan: the integration of equity markets and ETFs. All of our clients switched to trading on the new platform without any major issues and were flanked in the early days of the go-live. We are confident that this will also be the case for the remaining two phases involving the bond markets in September and the derivatives market early next year.”

declares Sonia Ferro, Team leader di EXP/EXP.0 Solutions of ATS

“The migration of Borsa Italiana to Optiq® represents an important step in simplifying the market access infrastructure. Through a single platform and the same channel, it’s possible to access all ofEuronext markets (Borsa Italiana, Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Oslo and Paris). Furthermore, the low-latency technology of EXP.0 together with the high performance of Optiq® guarantee maximum execution speed”.

adds Rino Tranzillo, head of capital market solutions at ATS.
