Network services provider Sawis Communications has announced that the Savvis Financial Xchange will offer access to the New York Stock Exchange Common Access Point (CAP) system. CAP offers NYSE brokers and their customers direct links to financial applications on the NYSE trading floor. The Financial Xchange will enable the NYSE to deliver broadband access to NYSE network-based products and services for its member firms and institutional investors. Collectivebid Systems will use Savvis to manage hosting services and to provide a private, IP-based network for its bond trading platform and marketplace. Collectivebid operates and provides technology for the first retail, multidealer fixed-income trading platform in Canada. The Merchants' Exchange has also selected Sawis Financial Xchange to manage and operate the network for an electronic futures trading platform.
