The drive towards more electronic trading venues continues to focus the industry on latency, integration and the automation of flows between banks, clients and the markets.

This challenge faces most organisations with each having to solve the same problem in turn. worldflow have developed the Functionate™ toolset to help solve this repetitive problem. Functionate™ is a new class of “functional middleware”, which differs in that is has built-in the ‘understanding’ of the financial instrument structure and data content being managed.

Functionate™ uses adapters to connect directly to 3rd party software and proprietary systems and enables complex business functions to be performed.

Functionate™ supports Foreign Exchange, FX Options, Equities, Interest Rate Derivatives, Fixed Income, Structured products and Prime Brokerage.

Functionate™ has connection adapters for Murex, Kondor+, Wall Street Systems, OMR, TraderTools OMS, Reuters RET, Bloomberg, Currenex, FXall, FXConnect, Lava Trading, and Traiana.

Functionate™ also supports the FIX, MQ/JMS, and FPML protocols and has adapters to automate the parsing and loading of spreadsheets through standard templates.
