ECS is designed for easy integration with other systems, particularly systems moving to STP. Customers are presented with a range of options to create either tightly or loosely coupled integration with upstream systems such as trade matching engines and ticketing services, as well as downstream systems such as banking, regulatory reporting, and billing.

The core technology has a high degree of built-in flexibility. The system can be extended and customized, including definition and introduction of new instruments, without coding. This allows organizations to implement business processes quickly and efficiently.
