We’re driven by the spirit of innovation. For more than 45 years, we’ve been
creating technologies that have taken trading efficiency to new levels. We’re
proud of our legacy, and we’re constantly looking to drive forward the next technological
revolution.
Since the creation of our company in 1965, we’ve been leading the industry with
new products and smart technologies. In 1986, we were the first to introduce touch
screens and soft keys to our turrets, so traders could take advantage of the most
intuitive interfaces available. In 1992, we brought quality of service to our
trading floor voice network before anyone else. And since 1997, when the business
was acquired by France Telecom, our research and development teams have gone from
strength to strength.
We pioneered Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) in 2001, and introduced the
first bimodal IP and TDM turret in 2005. The company took a significant step in
2006 when we became Orange Business Services - Trading Solutions. We immediately
began to benefit from the research support of the wider Orange Group and one year
later, we rolled out the largest IP trading floor outside the United States, with
more than 1,000 seats.
We’re committed to maintaining our leading position. In 2009, we embarked on
one of our greatest technological achievements to date, rolling out a global MPLS
network that will provide our customers with ultra-low latency connectivity to
trading venues across the world.
