FIX protocol, has long stood as the backbone of communication in financial markets. It's a powerful and efficient means of transmitting messages between participants, ensuring quick and reliable communication. However, its technical nature makes it inaccessible to the typical user on the desk. Most people don't have the time or inclination to delve into the intricacies of FIX or the resources to connect to FIX. They need a more straightforward way to interact with these data standards - a language they already understand.
So, what if we could converse with FIX in natural language via chatbots? What if we could democratize the understanding and utilisation of FIX by translating it into the universal language of conversation? This is where ipushpull steps in, offering an innovative FIX translation service through its advanced bot framework. The service was a topic of interest at the FIX EMEA conference earlier this year, where industry professionals expressed a keen interest in simplifying data standards and enhancing electronic and integrated trading workflows.
A staggering 42% of delegates at the conference highlighted the need for improved data standards, while 32% advocated for better electronic and integrated trading workflows. These figures underscore a critical industry direction: the pursuit of efficiency and productivity through seamless communication channels.
ipushpull's service ingeniously converts FIX messages into conversational language, making them compatible with messaging platforms such as Slack, Symphony, and Teams. This translation not only facilitates a better understanding of the data being exchanged but also integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, allowing for an unprecedented level of accessibility and efficiency.
