LINEDATA LINKS LONGVIEW OMS WITH NORBURY LINKS RESEARCH PLATFORM

Posted April 7, 2008

BOSTON – Linedata Services (symbol, LIN.FP) announced today that its LongView Trading Order Management System (OMS) now offers access to Norbury Links, a research management platform from technology provider Norbury Financial Systems. Norbury Links streamlines the overflow of information with the ability to screen and organize financial research for easy retrieval and cross referencing.

The new alliance helps Norbury reach the LongView Trading user base, which includes 10 of the top 25 asset management firms, ranked by assets under management. At the same time, Norbury Links offers LongView users quick access to the most relevant high value research that relates directly to their holdings, helping them make better informed investment decisions.

“Although LongView OMS handles all the workflows in the trading process, there are a number of labor-intensive tasks that go into making the overall buy or sell decision,” says Jack Wiener, Executive Vice President in charge of Business Development at Linedata Services in North America. “Our alliance with Norbury should be a huge value-add for clients, reducing the paperwork, e-mails and information overload around identifying, sourcing, and accessing relevant investment research.”

The LongView OMS and Norbury Links will automatically take users from one platform to the other and will pass on appropriate data.

“Norbury is all about helping investors make great investment decisions and LongView is the premier platform allowing investors to act on those decisions,” says Dan Dykens, Chief Executive Officer of Norbury. “The combination of these services ensures that clients are able to better manage the investment process from research to trading.”
