I wish my colleagues every success for the exciting future which awaits them.”

REUTERS LAUNCHES DEALING 3000

London – Reuters today announced the launch of Dealing 3000, the next generation of Reuters Dealing products. Dealing 3000 brings significant evolutionary enhancements to the current Dealing 2000 core products and offers users greater integration and flexibility through a new platform (NT4), a shared environment and a brand new look and feel.

Key features include a choice of flexible screen layouts that enable traders to tailor the design of their keystations to their specific requirements. For the first time, traders have the ability to integrate core Reuters information services and to run other applications in conjunction with the Dealing 3000 keystation whilst ensuring performance and security are maintained. A new matching panel display allows the trader to focus on a single currency pair, whilst the traditional grid display has been enhanced to allow viewing of up to 20 currencies on one screen. In addition, there is a dedicated display for viewing matching activity. There is a completely new Broadcast facility for easy transmission of text and price information and a total of 26 conversations is possible per keystation where the previous maximum was four.

Marion King, head of Reuters Money Transaction Systems, commented: “Dealing 3000 was developed in response to the stated requirements of our customers and is thus designed to provide enhancements that will bring the greatest benefit to traders. Using state of the art technology, this strong new product offers better value for money as well as more standardised packaging. Beta testing in 10 countries has produced extremely positive feedback from users. We have exciting plans for a range of further enhancements and new products that will embrace new technologies and will develop a broader integrated solution for our customers.”

The Dealing 3000 programme takes a phased approach with the first two deliverables, Dealing 3000 Direct and Dealing 3000 Spot Matching, replacing Dealing 2000-1 and Dealing 2000-2 Spot respectively.
