Portal Solution: One™

With ten years of experience within the financial services industry, we can offer you streaming market data display and integrated trading solutions within the IBM Websphere® Portal. We offer these services through the portal to customers and employees who require market data- and trading solutions. You can integrate your marketdata and trading applications into portal technology to monitor and manage costs more efficiently and increase your performance. In addition we offer a flexible and consistent platform that separates the front-end from mid- and back-offices and data vendors.

Modules
To efficiently accommodate the various needs, Virgil has structured One™ into two specific channel modules: One-Securities™ and One-Treasury™. While each module serves its own distinct channel in a different way, they all share the commitment to a single integrated portal solution. All products are linked by a single infrastructure for data distribution and trading solutions (One-TradePort™, One-TradeEngine™). Our product features can be viewed at Virgil's demo portal. For access to the portal go to one.virgil.nl, register and request access to the portal.

Compared to traditional data vendors, One™ offers:

• Streaming data in a browser without any installation of software on the client, including Java applets and plug inns
• Integration of market data and trading solutions

Websphere Portal integration
Many banks are standardising their architecture on Websphere Portal.

Companies take maximum advantage of this infrastructure by integrating native portal applications that are fully compliant with the portal characteristics as personalisation, language independency, security, single-sign-on etc. One™ is fully integrated with Websphere Portal. IBM therefore tested and certificated our applications as "Ready for Websphere".

Availability Solution: Live™

Live™ is designed to help our customers to increase the availability of mission critical data for their business.
