CHICAGO and FRANKFURT, Germany, June 9 /PRNewswire/ --

RTS Realtime Systems Group, a leading trading solutions provider, announced that it is now connected to ULLINK, a leading provider of transactional connectivity for the financial community.

Thanks to the new RTS-to-UL BRIDGE plug-in, RTS users can now access more than 300 buy- and sell-side counterparties worldwide.

"The UL BRIDGE is a complete connectivity platform offering smart order routing and monitoring functions, in addition to direct access to multiple execution venues in any message format," said Laurent Useldinger, CEO of ULLINK. "We developed a truly innovative and business-oriented solution, and we are pleased that RTS users can now benefit from ULLINK functionalities."

"The integration and deployment is remarkably simple," said Alex Lamb, Senior Vice President, Business Development at RTS. "If a customer using any one of RTS' solutions wants to deliver orders to new sell side brokers, exchanges or ECNs, it can be done without the extensive integration work required with other platforms. This means that traders can include additional markets to their trading strategies for an extremely attractive cost and within a very short timeframe."
