RTS to be First ISV to Deliver
The Bond Buyer’s RapiData Digital Economic Data Feed

RTS Realtime Systems Group (RTS), a leading independent software vendor (ISV), today announced an agreement with The Bond Buyer’s RapiData to become the first ISV to provide its users with direct access to RapiData’s new low latency digital economic data feed.

The agreement enables RTS to offer users of its algorithmic trading tool, RTD Tango, the ability to incorporate economic news releases into their automated trading strategies – enabling them to instantly react to new information about U.S. inflation, employment, productivity and a host of other indicators. RapiData’s machine readable format will allow direct and accurate delivery to applications that are programmed to react to such information, within milliseconds.

Steffen Gemuenden, Co-CEO of RTS, said: “We are very pleased to offer this exciting new capability to users of RTD Tango and our other products. It brings our customers a new level of high value content to the already substantial logical functionality we offer based on market and trade data.“

Said Matt Edelstein, Chief Operating Officer of RapiData: “Adding this extra dimension of powerful content to the automated trader’s toolset is as essential as low latency and stability to a trader’s success in the modern trading arena. We look forward to providing this capability to RTS in the first quarter of 2008.“

The Bond Buyer’s RapiData

The Bond Buyer’s RapiData is a new economic data service designed from the ground up to offer traders an extremely low-latency news feed direct from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Commerce Department, and Treasury.

RapiData accomplishes this high-speed delivery by avoiding the main causes of latency, such as serialization delay, depending on the chosen bandwidth; switching delay, caused by the number of hops within a network; and propagation delay, depending on physical distance.

The integrity of the data delivered over the network is ensured by The Bond Buyer, SourceMedia’s daily newspaper of municipal finance, which boasts a 117-year history as the nation’s most reliable source of news and information impacting the U.S. fixed-income markets.
