Gissing recognises that the ability to interface with different systems and protocols is key to achieving integration in financial services. That's why we've developed a highly modular software architecture based around a core set of components. We've poured many man-years of effort into optimising and tuning these components for maximum performance and minimum latency.

Irrespective of your choice of middleware, whether it's an industry standard platform such as TIBCO Rendezvous or Thomson Reuters RMDS, or one that your firm has built itself, it's only as good as its interface to your trading platforms and your market data vendor(s) of choice.

Gissing specialises in providing and maintaining products that not only simplify the task of integration with any required system, but do it with minimal latency. This enables you and your financial firm to concentrate your resources on creating new business features, adding value to trading systems and focus on the business of doing business!
