BRIDGE and JCV Investments Collaborate To Offer Permission Reports for Feed Clients Via Triarch.

Business Editors

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2000

Bridge Information Systems (BRIDGE(R)), the largest provider of financial information services in North America and JCV Investment Systems today announced that DACSess(TM), a JCV product, now supports and provides permission reports for BridgeFeed and TelerateFeed, delivered through Reuters Triarch. BridgeFeed and TelerateFeed (a product of Telerate, Inc., a BRIDGE subsidiary) are high performance, interactive, digital datafeeds carrying the universe of Bridge Information Systems' and Telerate's exchange-based and contributed data across the world's financial markets. All reports derive data from a live connection to DACS versions 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4.

Joe Veneziano, President of JCV Investment Systems, noted that the new functionality was due to a joined effort between BRIDGE and JCV. "A number of our customers have recently installed BridgeFeed and TelerateFeed and have been clamoring for the same functionality and reports that DACSess(TM) provides for Reuters products. BRIDGE provided the assistance needed to make this happen quickly," he added.

"As our Feed's Source Server for Triarch has grown in popularity, more clients are looking for better entitlements control, reporting and analysis," said Ken Barnes, Marketing Director for BRIDGE's Datafeed and Integration group. "By leveraging our entitlements support systems, including the map collect feature being launched this month, DACSess(TM) adds a great deal of value to the systems administration process."

The reports are permission-related and complement usage reports available via a BRIDGE supplied reporting utility. Available DACSess(TM) reports include BRIDGE Exchanges; BRIDGE & Telerate Products; BRIDGE & Telerate Data Access Declarations; Trader Invoices including BRIDGE and Telerate Data; and Permission Request Forms including BRIDGE and Telerate Data. All reports include TDPF.

Some of the benefits of DACSess(TM) include; cost information available by Trader, department, and/or cost control center; no manipulation required of Unix DACS server; One-Button Data Access Declaration (DAD) reports; system users and help desk filters; knowledge and control of purchased/permissioned accesses; and low monthly rental or purchase price, based on number of permissioned users.

BRIDGE and Telerate's feed products are full service real-time interactive datafeeds, that cover all major sectors including equities, fixed income, foreign exchange, money markets, energy, commodities and derivatives. A host of data types are supported, including quotes, pages, Time & Sales (filterable by exchange, price, volume and time,) Level II & order book, chains and analytic displays. Real-time, delayed and fundamental data are all available, as well as news and research from 450 sources categorized with source specific and Bridge-Master category codes for rapid filtration. With feed handlers developed to interface with the industry's largest platforms, such as BTRS, Triarch and TIB, and equipped with a functionally rich C and Java based developer's toolkit, BridgeFeed and TelerateFeed can be quickly integrated into almost any distribution environment.

TelerateFeed is further enhanced with financial market data from industry leaders like Cantor Fitzgerald, Bargan and ICAP including elementized real-time pricing, descriptive data and historical data on fixed income, FX, money markets, equities, commodities, energy, futures and options.
