In the last months, participants of SIX Repo and oraïse have intensively been working on this change. oraïse provided a complete migration concept with the Exchange Services | SIX Repo for the participants of SIX Repo already at the beginning of the test phase. With the live date of the CO:RE trading platform, at the end of February 2016, the switch of access was a complete success for both existing and new customers.

With years of experience in financial markets and in close cooperation with SIX oraïse developed a user friendly managed hosting solution for oraïse customers. Via an ASP solution oraïse provided a parallel access to the previous and the new CO:RE trading platform.

Christoph Börlin, CIIA, M.A. HSG, Director, Head of Treasury (Cash & FX Management), Baloise Asset Management: “The cooperation with oraïse while migrating to the new CO:RE trading platform of SIX Repo was as usually very professional. Through the expertise of the oraïse employees our company had no internal effort during testing and my colleagues were able to focus on participating in the simulation environment. We appreciate a lot, that the complexity of the conversion was completely handled by oraïse and therefore our internal IT could waive the implementation of a new infrastructure and instead focus on other important internal tasks.”
