PLATFORM PROFILE
What technology supports CORTEXFX?
TS: Built in Microsoft Silverlight and accessed using an internet-browser, the CORTEXFX platform is not only very accessible but it is also not IT memory intensive.
What STP and integration facilities will be provided?
TS: BNP Paribas has worked with the major vendors, such as Logiscope and RTNS, to ensure we support a full suite of STP solutions. We are able to offer clients full front to back solutions and full integration into their middle and back office systems.
To what extent can the platform be customised for different users?
TS: Te CORTEXFX platform is built in modules so that certain modules can be made available to different client segments, catering for full FX trading capability to, for example, an SME in Indonesia who only requires CORTEX to make international payments. Te platform is very configurable to give clients a different feel, look and experience around the same asset class.
What are your future plans for the development of CORTEXFX?
TS: CORTEXFX will evolve over time. Having built all of the IT in-house this gives us the ability to operate in a very agile way. Te core product will have three week IT release sprints, so that we can supply on request and demand and enrich the product as it evolves.
to concentrate on taking advantage of every trading opportunity.
BNP Paribas has a very large client base globally, and part of the initiative of building a single dealer platform is to give clients in these markets the ability to select BNP Paribas to handle onshore, local, booking, which is big advantage that some houses do not have and something we could not offer over a multi-dealer platform. With offices in over 50 countries, our ambition to become an electronic markets provider of choice in developing economies is now being realised. Tis also enhances our pricing capability as we are represented in many developing economies and pricing intelligence is a key area of our focus.

CORTEX will be the umbrella brand for all of our Fixed Income products. We have made our entire pre-trade content available over mobile (Ipad, Iphone) through MobileMarkets and we are now slowly rolling out our social media strategy using the new communication channels such as Twitter and Facebook which we see as a key component in any next generation trading environment.
