Monday, 22 June 2009 15:14
TS-Associates plc (TS-A), developers of TipOff, the market leading solution for the measurement and management of low-latency messaging infrastructures, has appointed West Highland Support Services as their accredited US channel for sales and support.

The global focus on reducing and managing latency has resulted in market participants searching out new technologies that can address their immediate issues as well as providing them with an industrial strength platform for the future. As a direct result, TS-A is experiencing increasing demand for TipOff and related services. Whilst TS-A has a number of global customers with TipOff deployments in the US, WHSS will support the acceleration of TipOff's penetration into the US market.

West Highland Support Services, LLC (WHSS) has been a leading provider of market data technology support solutions and personnel to the financial community for over 12 years. Message rates and data consumption continue to grow exponentially each month, making the ability to monitor, support and design the systems that utilize that data paramount. WHSS has brought 24x7 remote monitoring to the industry and continues to define the most relevant information to monitor, ensuring client infrastructures are at maximum uptime. The need to provide real-time, on demand information to support these infrastructures has underscored the importance of the relationship between WHSS with TS-A.

Henry Young, TS-Associates' Director of Product Development, says, "We're excited that WHSS are coming onboard to represent TipOff in the USA. Their established network of customers and contacts is unequalled in the industry, and nicely complements our existing TipOff deployments in NY & NJ and very soon in MA and CA. Steve Roe has a great team, some of whom I have worked with in the past and known personally for over a decade."

Steven Roe, WHSS CEO, says, "WHSS has a long history of presenting solutions for our clients that bring the most value and address the most difficult problems. Across all of our clients and throughout the industry the ability to have a direct real-time view into low latency messaging infrastructures has been problematic. Henry Young and TS-A, who are very well known and respected in the industry, provide that view with TipOff. TS-A's proactive and innovative approach is exactly in line with our model. We are very pleased to have an opportunity to be aligned with TS-A and feel very strongly that our relationship is of the utmost benefit to the client community".

Ted Sutton, WHSS VP Business Development, says, "The TipOff appliance is hands down the best latency monitoring device on the market today. The combination of middleware analysis and passive latency monitoring has TipOff standing head and shoulders above the competition. West Highland will actively promote the TipOff solution and provide expert onsite implementation and remote support services to complete the offering."
