Horizon Suite for IT Dept Users and Software Development Professionals Working in Data Vendor Firms

The Horizon products that are likely to be of interest to Software Development professionals that are involved in interest rate derivatives are as follows:

Whilst our database is very extensive, the bias on the data that we have collected has been in the interest rate derivatives area as this was the group of traders that the application was originally designed for.

Having access to the same data as used by the front office enables back office personnel to verify trade prices and to check the accuracy of some of the analysis carried out by the traders.

Horizon is the product name of a suite of software products designed and built by Derivative Trading Systems (“DTS”) to provide state of the art analytical and financial market data to customers that work in the treasury and compliance areas of financial institutions including banks, hedge funds, insurance companies, institutional investors and corporate organizations.

The range of relevant Horizon products include the following:
Open Horizon
Horizon COM.

Horizon is not a replacement for other real-time data applications but has traditionally been used to complement those other applications.

Some of the main reasons that Open Horizon and Horizon COM has been chosen by our Software Development users are as follows:

• Horizon has one of the most extensive and accurate historical market rate databases. To see an up-to-date list of our historical data follow click on horizon database.

• One of the most powerful aspects of the Horizon suite of products is the highly powerful and flexible Graph Definition Dialogue (“GDD”). The GDD gives the user the ability to easily create simple data expressions all the way up to the most complicated data analysis expressions. All without the need to write complex computer code.

• The quality of the data is highly regarded by our customers who tend to be very loyal to our Horizon application even though they may have other real-time data applications that also provide some of the data they need to access. When you are analysing data there is no substitute for quality information.
