MACD and OARIS have announced that they will merge. Well established in Switzerland, the providers of Order Management (OMS) and Execution Management (EMS) systems for securities, derivatives and FX will pool their resources. The products and services of both providers ideally complement one another. In the past, there have been joint customer projects.

 

Each company brings more than 20 years of experience in the delivery of software solutions. With this merger, a company will be created with 35 employees and more than 30 customers in Switzerland and abroad. 

MACD and OARIS will together be the leading provider of OMS and EMS systems in Switzerland and have a market presence in England, Germany, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein and Austria. Through the use of synergies, the combined company can offer existing and new customers efficient and innovative solutions for the increasingly international and regulated markets.
