In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue.

- Provides Client With JMS API for Asynchronous Messaging
Asset Control, the world's leading provider of Centralized Data
Management (CDM) solutions to the financial industry, has kicked off 2006
with a major new customer for its flagship product, AC Plus, for
enterprise-wide reference data management. Based in New York City, this hedge
fund has net assets under management of over US$12 billion.
The hedge fund will be the first user of a Java Message Service (JMS)
interface. This new interface will broaden communications from AC Plus to
other systems. The hedge fund's objective in using this new interface is to
more tightly couple the AC Plus infrastructure with the firm's existing suite
of front, middle and back office applications.
Completion of this java messaging interface is a next important step in
Asset Control's efforts to achieve Operational Coherency for its customers,
providing them the lowest total cost of ownership. The JMS interface delivers
a framework for providing integration with messaging, web services and
Enterprise Java Beans applications and enables AC Plus to integrate with a
wide variety of JMS-compliant products such as MQSeries via asynchronous
XML-based messaging. The integration framework is hosted in a J2EE 1.4
compatible application server and supports queries and updates in the Asset
Control server. This JMS interface joins other Asset Control connectivity
products including bi-directional real-time replication, notification, and a
comprehensive suite of publish and consume APIs.
"JMS technology helps address the desire of financial institutions to
shorten implementation cycles and keep costs under control," says David
Hirschfeld, Senior VP of Operations, Asset Control. "This integration
framework dramatically expands the standards-based integration options of AC
Plus allowing much faster and tighter integration with the downstream systems
of our clients."
"Asset Control's product development strategy is strongly influenced by
the needs of our customers and future customers," observes Ger Rosenkamp,
CEO, Asset Control. "Our hedge fund clients have complex requirements so it
is particularly pleasing that our product vision is appreciated by the hedge
fund industry and has resulted in another new customer from this community."
