Managed Application Services
FFastFill's managed application services offer the flexibility
to implement high availability trading solutions in a proven
environment backed by FFastFill's stringent Service Level
Agreements (SLA).
The service provides the user with
FFastFill's trading front-end for futures and options together
with an extensive pre and post trade risk management capability
as well as connectivity to the major European and US derivatives
exchanges. In addition FFastFill's managed service platform
is capable of supporting third party applications. These
services can be designed to replace existing applications
to reduce cost or may augment existing capabilities in
a discrete manner to provide multi-application resilience.
Additionally, using FFastFill's Citrix based application
delivery platform, the trading solution may be accessed
from multiple sites. This provides real-time disaster recovery
access, reducing exposure in the event of trading site
loss. Through the use of FFastFill's services, operational
performance can be improved whilst reducing the client's
total costs. Transparency of these costs also simplifies
internal cost allocation.

Our managed application services are a combination of FFastFill's two core platforms:
the exchange connectivity service, and FFastFill's new generation trading, tracking and
risk management software. Each of these has been designed to support the provision
of software as a service to the end user, removing the need for firms to continue to
invest in skills and resources to keep pace with the ever increasing changes in
technology and software upgrades. The service, which can be supported up to 24
hours a day, can be accessed via the web or dedicated leased lines configured to
meet the clients needs.
