Case Study: Thomas Weisel Partners achieves low-latency trading integration with FioranoMQ

Fiorano provides Interoperability for Thomas Weisel Partners

Thomas Weisel Partners, a San Francisco-based financial services firm, needed to move beyond phone-based trade orders and build an electronic trading platform with low latency, high bandwidth, and strong interoperability across disparate systems written in C++ and Java. To create a language-agnostic messaging hub for its trading desk and related subsystems, the company turned to Fiorano Software and its JMS 1.0-compliant FioranoMQ platform.

Fiorano Software implemented FioranoMQ as the messaging backbone for Weisel Execution Services, tying together order management, message normalization, back office, and performance monitoring systems under one umbrella. The result was a reliable real-time trading infrastructure with extremely low latency and strong performance, reaching throughput of 2,000 messages per second and offering room to scale further through clustering and load balancing, all with strong support and competitive pricing.
