"XyrisOption is the product of over ten years trading and consulting
experience," said Richard Adams, chief designer of the product. "The available
tools were all clumsy, or slow, or limited in functionality. There was a need for a
product that combined the best in financial mathematics, data-feed handling technology,
and user-interface design. We built XyrisOption to meet that need."

to any Reuter or Quotron data-feed, including Triarch/SSL. In the Americas, XyrisOption is
available through Reuters. In the rest of the world, XyrisOption is available directly
from Xyris Software, Inc.
