Options Launch Market-Leading PTP Compliance Reporting Tool, Tempus

LONDON & NEW YORK & HONG KONG–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Options, the leading provider of managed trading infrastructure to the global Capital Markets, today announced the launch of its new Time Compliance Reporting Tool, Tempus.

Born out of Options’ Investment Bank-grade security and compliance standards, Tempus was developed by Options’ industry-leading R&D team to address clients’ regulatory obligations and cleanly demonstrate compliance through the entire infrastructure stack from Grandmaster sources to trading servers.

Tempus ensures a transparent view into global end-to-end PTP synchronisation and compliance, tracking client device clock health and time sync status every second. Tempus detects and reports any “out of compliance” periods, tracks per-device offsets vs local Grandmaster, and generates time variance graphs for audit periods on demand.

Danny Moore, Options’ President, and CEO said, “Accurate, precise PTP is now an industry standard for the Capital Markets. Transparency has always been a key principle of our Managed Services offerings, and as such, we are constantly innovating to provide clients with industry-leading visibility into the health of their managed estates. Tempus is our latest step forward in that arena, adding customised and detailed time compliance reports to our service portfolio.”

Today’s news comes as the latest in a series of strategic announcements for Options, including their achievement of VMware Cloud Verified Status, recognition as Visionary Partner of the Year in the Pure Storage Breakthrough Awards, the launch of advanced Telemetry Services, and the recent acquisition of Fixnetix.

In January 2020, Options received investment from Boston-based Private Equity Firm, Abry Partners. This investment has enabled Options to accelerate its growth strategy and develop its technology platform whilst expanding its reach in key financial centres globally.
