In May, we announced the merger of MACD & OARIS. We are very pleased about the positive feedback from our employees, customers and partners! The integration process has been running smoothly. In order to keep disturbances to our customers to a minimum, we are proceeding step by step and will continue to support all products. In the area of business analysis, infrastructure, as well as corporate communications and marketing, we are already working together. Our products complement one another very well; since XKYTE runs locally at the customer's site, and GLOX is a hosted solution, we can offer the ideal solution depending on a customer's requirements. We would be happy to discuss your requirements.
On June 27th, 2017, Hypothekarbank Lenzburg went live successfully with the trading system GLOX from MACD & OARIS. In the first step the connection to the SIX Swiss Exchange was established. Connections to further trading destinations are planned for the second half of 2017. GLOX is linked to the FINSTAR banking system developed by Hypothekarbank Lenzburg, thus enabling a smooth trading flow.
