Options PIPE® Platform

Foundation For Performance

The Options PIPE® platform is the basis for the Core, Expand, Velocity and Accelerate services for buy side, sell side and software vendor clients. The PIPE is constructed not only from high speed global networks and leading technologies, but also from a unique team of skilled individuals who draw on long experience within the finance sector.

Centralised Utility

PIPE services are centralised and delivered to clients via redundant pairs of fibre optic circuits, much like other more familiar centralised utility services. Options' innovative approach to financial technology is an extension of a well established standard used for other utilities such as power and telephony, and has notable advantages when applied to technology infrastructure and alternative investment management.

Purpose Built

The PIPE infrastructure has been purpose-built from inception for the highest levels of performance, resilience, safety, scalability and flexibility, based on the significant experience and expertise of investment technology leaders. The result is a centralised platform that comprises both technologies and personnel and is available to clients on a monthly subscription basis as a fully managed and supported service.

Ready to Run

Since the PIPE platform is already in place and proven for all key trading centres around the world, clients can access the full suite of PIPE services almost immediately either locally or in global locations. Clients benefit from the aggregate technology requirements of all customers and therefore enjoy substantially shorter lead times when the business opportunities arise, or where performance and resilience enhancements are required.
