SecuritEase® technology
The SecuritEase system has four primary server technology components.
- Application Server, which implements the securities broking business functionality,
- Database Server, which stores the data associated with the securities transactions,
- Reporting Server, which produces screen and printed reports, and
- Settlement Gateway Server, which provides connectivity to the market and settlement infrastructure.
These components reside on a single system or can be split to operate on separate systems. The choice of deployment architecture depends on capacity and availability requirements.
The graphical user interface of the SecuritEase system is flexible and easy to use. Pop-up windows allow both summary and detailed data to be viewed as “drill in” enquiries progress. The user interface needs no other software to run, and new versions are automatically loaded to end users’ PCs as they are made available, thereby eliminating manual client end system maintenance. Some elements of the graphical user interface can be delivered through Refinitiv’s Eikon.
The SecuritEase system uses standard Microsoft operating system and database products and is fully supported in virtualised environments.
The SecuritEase system has a number of ways of interfacing with external systems. For example; Real time bidirectional interfaces can be used to access important external systems, standard interfacing database tables can be used to import from or export to external systems or one of the SecuritEase application programming interfaces (APIs) can be used.
Technology like; RESTful JSON and XML APIs, real time FIX interfaces, real time and batch file SWIFT interfaces, file import/export mechanisms, FTP, SFTP and transfer directory monitoring and business practices like making training available in the nature of the SecuritEase System database maximise the availability of your data.
