Client Services Platform Services Analytics Selection/Provisioning/Billing Middleware 1 Users can mix and match application 2 Unique middleware provides the necessary and data services, as needed, from any number of third-party and in-house suppliers, hosted locally or remotely.

As such, the platform allows smaller firms, like the growing community of hedge-funds, to gain access to a collection of best-of-breed, cost-effective, services, heretofore unavailable or impractical, and to realize the operational efficiencies of straight-through processing. Risk Execution Settlement PM&A Data Open. Trade™ 3 In the portfolio management and accounting (PM&A) domain, Five Mile’s own Open.

Users are free to supplement or choose from other, competitive, offerings, too, for which the platform serves as a distribution and delivery channel. 10
Service Provisioning DEPLOY services and XUI XML screens. Any web/application server infrastructure may be used. Internally, we use JBoss. ADVERTISE services, specifying functional taxonomies, URL and MIME type. Taxonomies are specified using an NAICS-like notation, but with greater functional granularity. REGISTER any necessary transformations and/or session-level protocol adapters. These may be hosted locally or remotely. Transformation factories are bound into a user’s session, much like other services, facilitating just-in-time integration. <call url=“/service. Broker” style=“post”> <param name=“service.

These subscriptions are registered, alongside user credentials, for retrieval through directory services.

Service integration is intermediated by a dynamic service broker, deployed internally or hosted, who evaluates service type, name and communication details against user provisioned services and taxonomies. © Gary Maier and Five Mile Capital Partners LLC, 2007 DELIVER services and applications to the end-user as a customized suite of rich, desktop class, user interfaces, complete with real-time messaging and other inter/intra -enterprise capabilities. 11
