LONDON and NEW YORK, December 3 /PRNewswire/ --

- Customers Using Joint Solution Include Bank of America and Mitsubishi 
UFJ Securities International

Gissing Software (http://www.gissing.com), solution specialists in the 
routing and transformation of real-time market and trade data, and ITRS 
(http://www.itrsgroup.com), specialists in real-time systems and application 
management, today announced that four customers are in live production with 
their joint solution. Bank of America and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities 
International are among the customers using ITRS's flagship Geneos product 
suite alongside Gissing Software's leading multi-vendor contribution system. 
A real-time interface to the ITRS Geneos product suite within Gissing ConteX 
MCS allows users to proactively manage and resolve any potential issues that 
arise, ensuring no disruption to their mission-critical real-time data 
contributions.

Since the integration between Gissing ConteX MCS and ITRS
Geneos was first announced 12 months ago, the companies have added a number
of additional features in response to customer demand. The inclusion of a new
heartbeat field for Gissing ConteX MCS on the ITRS console enables users to
ensure that the contributions system and all monitored handlers are live and
working at all times. In addition, a new status template allows clients to
output and monitor hourly statistics from Gissing ConteX MCS, giving them a
clear indication of the level of load that the system is under throughout the
day.

Commenting on the benefits of the integrated solution, Jason
Ross, Director, Rates Trading Group, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities International
said: "Mitsubishi UFJ Securities International is already using ITRS Geneos
to monitor other systems within the company, so implementing the capability
to monitor the Gissing ConteX system made absolute sense. This facility,
currently deployed in our London office, enables us to monitor and actively
manage several of our mission-critical systems, including Gissing ConteX and
five data output handlers, all from a central console."

"We have built a strong partnership with the ITRS team since
we began working together last year. The positive feedback and level of
interest we've received from our clients, with four customers already live
and more evaluating the joint Gissing and ITRS solution, reflects this. We
look forward to continued collaboration to deliver benefits to our joint
customers," said Mike Hill, Marketing Director, Gissing spokesperson.
