Financial Technologies’ Exchanges ISV Connect Program

Financial Technologies operates a network of multi-asset exchanges which include global and domestic exchanges across India, Dubai, Bahrain, Singapore, Mauritius and Botswana. To ensure that the market reaches out to the most of the market participants wherein they can participate in the price discovery mechanism Financial Technologies intends to come up with an ISV Connect Partner program.

This unique partner program would authorize FTIL ISV Connect Partner status to third-party software vendors that connect their trading solutions to Financial Technologies’ exchange network via FIX enabled API or proprietary API.

ISV Connect program would oblige the exchange and trading community’s demands by offering an expansive range of novel and immaculately integrated trading solutions through strong relationships with our ISV partners. ISV Connect program brings to the table advanced and low latency algorithmic trading platforms, back/middle office processing solutions, efficient risk management systems, order and execution management systems, and trading front end solutions.

To be an ISV Connect Partner all participating vendors and developers will be mandated to undergo a FTIL certification test for the software they propose to employ. This certification would ensure that the vendor's software performs optimal and conforms to all the set procedures for individual exchanges. The team at Financial Technologies would provide a large assortment of services and support in order to assist partners and ISVs in their development and certification/conformance to the following areas

	Certification testing and volume testing
