Dear Xignite User,
Spreadsheets and web sites are two of the most popular applications for our web services. This is why Xignite has recently partnered with two companies making great advances in the ways that spreadsheets and web sites are built.
 |
EditGrid is an online spreadsheet that delivers data
on-demand. Over 100,000 personal and business users take advantage of EditGrid to collaborate on spreadsheets. EditGrid provides the majority of Excel features people use every day. Unlike Excel, EditGrid lets you share, collaborate, and publish the spreadsheets you create.
The best thing about EditGrid is that it comes wired with the ability to pull data from Xignite Web Services. We liked EditGrid so much we put it on our web site. You can now pull the data from any of our operations directly into EditGrid. Just click on the "Spreadsheet" button in the operation test form. Once in EditGrid, you can chart, sort and manipulate the data easily. |

WaveMaker provides an easy-to-use visual builder that lets you
assemble scalable web applications using Ajax widgets, web services and databases
with a simple drag & drop interface. WaveMaker's Studio lets you create
web services based applications quickly and without complex code, forms, patterns or
portal frameworks. WaveMaker can accelerate the development of applications by as much as 67% and cut the lines of code written by 98%. With dramatically less code, your applications are cheaper to maintain and easier to manage. Take a look at a sample of our data embedded in a stock ticker widget displayed on a Web page created by WaveMaker. |
We hope our recent partnerships will help make your life easier. If you need an easy way to access our financial data, consider using EditGrid. If you need to build a web application and don't want to spend too much time coding, take a look at WaveMaker.

XigniteMoneyMarkets is rapidly becoming the standard source for real-time money market instrument pricing. We just added swaption prices to our extensive roster of treasury and global swap prices. Swaptions prices are now available for USD and EUR and will be available on demand for AUD, CAD, CHF, DKK, GBP, JPY, NOK and SEK.
Since you keep asking for more, XigniteInterBanks keeps on giving. After the MOSIBOR we added last month (Moscow) we added Brazilian Interbank Rates (BRAZIBOR), Brastislava Interbank Rates (BRIBOR), Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate (JIBAR), Taiwan Interbank Offered Rate (TAIBOR), and Turkey InterBank Offered Rate (TRLIBOR).
XigniteMetals has been a reliable source of precious metal prices for many clients thanks to its broad coverage including spot rates, london fixings, future prices and more. You may not know that XigniteMetals also provide base metal prices for Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium, Iridium, Rhutenium, Rhenium and Osmium. We also recently added fabricated metal prices for Platinum, Palladium, Gold and Silver.
Alternative fuels are hot. We added ethanol prices from the Brazilian Mercantile Exchange to XigniteEnergy. Those new prices complements the existing prices we provide from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
Make sure to update your records. Our new address:
Last month, we partnered with NASDAQ to bring you affordable and easy to integrate real-time prices for US exchanges. We are planning to add the same service for NASDAQ OMX European Exchanges (Stockholm, Helsinki, Olso, Reykjavik, Copenhagen, Tallin, Riga, Vilnius). Contact us if you would like to be a pilot for this new service.
Many of you have requested an easy way to access detailed index component data. We partnered with Telekurs to add this information to XigniteIndices. Let us know if you want to be kept up-to-date on the availability of this new feature.
By popular demand, we will be adding the world's biggest exchanges to our roster of global exchanges. We already provide end of day and historical data for global securities with XigniteGlobalHistorical but many of you have been requesting delayed quotes. XigniteGlobalQuotes will be the first service of its kind so let us know if you are interested!
Many of you have requested a reliable corporate action web service that would let you accurately maintain your own security master. Thanks to Xignite's recent partnership with Telekurs, we will soon introduce a corporate action service that will not only provide accurate dividend, split and security changes information, but also cover complex transactions such as mergers, acquisitions and split-offs.
You know Splice is cool but you have not had a chance to play with it to customize your own web service. No problem, sign up for one of our upcoming Splice Webinar Series. Those 30 minutes sessions will teach you all you need to get started. Just register for the session that works best for you.
This year was our first year of presence at the SIFMA show. The show was a great success as there was much interest in our recent partnership with NASDAQ on their NASDAQ Last Sale solution. Also thanks to all of you who stopped by and said hi!
Talking about Last Sale, if you missed last week's webinar but still want to learn about this revolutionary solution, simply register for our next webinar on the subject.
In 2007, JJ Denim launched an international-focused online shop selling designer men's clothing. Today, JJ Denim has turned its web site into a robust e-commerce platform handling online sales from over 50 countries, and for which international sales represents 70% of total online revenue. And we helped a bit.
To create a better experience for its visitors, JJ Denim needed to display merchandise prices in the local currencies without requiring any clicks or actions. To address this challenge, they needed access to real time currency exchange rates 24/7.
JJ Denim explored different alternatives and decided XigniteCurrencies best fit its needs. XigniteCurrencies offers accurate currency exchange rates and comprehensive country coverage (over 170 currencies and 270 countries). The web service protocol makes it easy to integrate data into JJ Denims' system, which uploads the latest exchange rates every 10 minutes. When an online shopper visits the website, the system uses an IP-locator service to identify his or her country. It then uses XigniteCurrencies to convert merchandise from US dollars to the local currency.
By deploying XigniteCurrencies, JJ Denim was able to let shoppers seamlessly browse its extensive catalog of designer merchandise in any currency. In a competitive retail apparel business, JJ Denim's focus on providing a satisfying user experience helps differentiate it from its competitors and drive online sales and website traffic.
