Introducing FIXatdl Jump-Start... So far, FIXatdl has yet to have a significant effect on the world of algo distribution. That is set to change with the release of FIXatdl v1.1 - the specification is now solid enough for vendors to dispense with earlier proprietary solutions in favour of a true industry standard.

Recognising the value of FIXatdl to the trading community, both in terms of reduced costs and improved time-to-market, Cornerstone Technology launched its "FIXatdl Jump-Start" service at the recent FPL EMEA Conference. Initially targeted at sell-side firms that need to become FIXatdl-compliant quickly, the service is equally applicable to buy-side vendors and in-house OMS developers that need to gain an in-depth understanding of what FIXatdl is about and how it can benefit the business.

FIXatdl Jump-Start is a range of packaged services including training, consulting and testing, enabling firms to become FIXatdl-compliant at a fair and predictable cost, and is designed to operate in partnership with firms' own business and technology departments.

For more information on the Jump-Start service, please email jumpstart@cornerstonetechnology.com.
