Mid-Office/Back-Office Overview

Mid-office and back office systems allow brokers to monitor customer accounts, providing both real-time updates and end of day reports. Many of these reports are stipulated by the regulators. A matching engine is the core software component of an electronic exchange. It matches buy and sell orders and executes trades. In some cases, they can support complex matching models, to allow request for quotes and market maker quote matching.

The Touch-Fire solution was built many years ago with the assumption that the system should be truly flexible, and account information should be updated in real-time, not at the end of the day. Our initial requirements included exchange venues and users operating in multiple timezones, multiple currencies, multiple languages, and multiple asset classes governed by multiple regulators. All of these concepts were built into the solution, and it has gone through several iterations, as technologies change, and better models emerge. It has been battle tested on high volume, high frequency traders, routing millions of orders through the system every day, 23 hours per day for years on end (since 2012). Our customer love partnering with us as we can add new functionality easily and support new initiatives at a much lower cost than other approaches.

We have served brokerage firms, banks, financial institutions, traditional Exchanges and crpto-currency exchanges.
