Tora has enhanced its TORA Compass trading platform and the connections to its clients and brokers in Asia, Europe and US with high capacity, fast, secure and reliable FIX-enabled trading connectivity, via TNS' extensive global IP network.
Tora has already established a significant number of broker connections to TNS' extranet service, accounting for 50% of the organisation's total network. TNS has also provided several customised connectivity packages to meet the specific requirements of key Tora clients. The Tora-TNS business relationship allows financial organisations already connected to the TNS network to establish links with TORA Compass.
"TNS is widely recognised as one of the world's leading FIX-enabled networks for electronic trading," comments Mick Hastings, Tora's vice president for technology infrastructure. "On top of the advantages of fast and secure connectivity, the previously complex task of connecting new brokers to our TORA Compass trading platform has been greatly simplified. Thanks to TNS' connectivity management we have realised significant efficiency gains that have enabled us to reallocate internal resources to support other critical processes."
Alex Walker, TNS' senior vice president and general manager, Financial Services Division, added: "The TORA Compass trading platform is a valuable addition to our financial community of interest. We are delighted to welcome Tora and their growing list of clients to our network and to provide them with fully managed connectivity."
