JPMorgan recently moved almost all of MorganMarkets, its European and U.S. data portals for research, analytics, and other financial tools, onto a platform from U.K.-based Caplin Systems. MorganMarkets is tapping into Caplin's Real Time Text Protocol platform to provide real-time tradable and indicative prices to its 17,000 users. Caplin will also allow MorganMarkets to embed its real-time data directly into its existing portal using the vendor's Wide Area Messaging. The portal operates with JPMorgan department and pricing engines using Caplin toolkits to contribute proprietary data to Caplin Liberator servers. These servers, running on Solaris, then stream the real-time data to the MorganMarkets research site. In addition to providing data, the site uses JPeX Online to offer single sing-on access to electronic trading.
