SGX launches world's first market data system powered by OMX Genium technology


OMX and Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX) announced today that SGX will launch
an upgrade to its market data system, SGX DerivativesQuote, on 27 February
2008.  This solution is the first in the world to be powered by OMX's next
generation distribution system for market data, Genium® Market Info. 

The new system enables SGX to enhance data dissemination services to market
participants, allowing brokers and data vendors to offer more comprehensive
data to their customers.  Key benefits of the new system include its ability to
support 10 levels of bid and ask sizes (compared to three previously), as well
as calendar spreads data for all futures contracts on SGX (compared to only for
Euroyen futures contract previously). 

“We are delighted to launch this new data feed system from OMX,” said Mr
Muthukrishnan Ramaswami, Senior Executive Vice President & Chief Operations
Officer, SGX.  “It will strengthen investor confidence through enhanced market
data availability and contribute to increased marketplace liquidity.  In
addition to faster capture and delivery of market data, the upgraded SGX
DerivativesQuote also covers more timezones and products than the previous
system.” 

SGX currently uses exchange technology from OMX for its trading operations.
This new solution is part of SGX's ongoing efforts to raise the bar on the
speed, capacity, scalability and robustness of its IT infrastructure to provide
SGX's user base with a competitive advantage. 

“This is an important milestone in our long and successful relationship with
SGX, and further strengthens OMX's leading position in market data technology,”
says Markus Gerdien, President Market Technology at OMX.  “The solution
delivered to SGX puts them at the forefront for market data management, and
will allow them to tap into new sources of revenue through value-added market
data packages.”
