CLSA Expands Use of CameronFIX across Asia-Pacific and US Markets

For immediate release: Hong Kong & Sydney, Wednesday 20 October 2010 —
CameronTec, the financial industry's leading provider of FIX
infrastructure and connectivity solutions and wholly owned subsidiary of
Orc Software, today announced that CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, Asia's
leading independent brokerage and investment group, plans to
significantly expand its use of CameronFIX for FIX infrastructure
trading requirements within the Asia-Pacific and US markets. A valued
CameronFIX customer since 2004, the terms of this latest deal were
agreed in Q2 2010 and are based on CameronTec's licensing subscription
model.

The expanded use of CameronFIX by CLSA within the Asia-Pacific region
will see it utilised across major regional markets including China,
Korea, Malaysia, India, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia, Japan,
Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines.

Chief Information Officer for CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets Thiyagarajah
Rajah says:  “As CLSA continues to expand its business globally, our
trading protocol applications based on the Financial Information
eXchange specification are critical to ensuring our clients have very
reliable and fast access to all the major markets.  As a long-standing
CameronFIX customer, we are confident this technology is the best FIX
connectivity solution available today.”

Asia Pacific Sales Director for CameronTec Wais Metzing comments:  “We
welcome CLSA's expanded use of CameronFIX. As a leading customer in the
Asia Pacific region, this is positive development for CameronTec in the
Asian markets.  Local participants in both Asia and the US will benefit
from significant electronic trading improvements provided by CameronFIX
in such critical areas of latency and uptime, thereby more closely
achieving optimum trading efficiency.”

CameronFIX is the outcome of 13+ years continuous investment in FIX
performance, scalability, interoperability and robustness.  Larger
investment firms, brokers, exchanges and regulators on all five
continents, as well as an increasing number of boutique firms seeking
high standards for FIX, use CameronFIX for their performance based FIX
applications. 

In line with our commitment to respond to customer needs and deliver
performance enhancements through incremental CameronFIX version
upgrades, CameronTec will release CameronFIX version 6.5 during Q4.
