NEW YORK and BOSTON, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BNY
ConvergEx Group, LLC, a leading provider of global agency brokerage
and investment technology solutions, today announced that Eze
Castle Software has been named the top Order Management System
(OMS) provider in Alpha magazine's Alpha AwardsTM. This is the
second consecutive year that Eze Castle has won this award.
Institutional Investor's Alpha magazine's 2008 Alpha AwardsTM
sought out the top technology providers through an extensive survey
that polled over 200 hedge funds and asked them to rank their order
management system technology providers in three categories -
Software Functionality, Support & Client Service, and
Technology & Architecture. Once again, Eze Castle and the Eze
OMSTM ranked highest in all three categories. "It's a true honor to
be recognized as the top OMS provider by the people who know us
best - our clients," says Tom Gavin, chief executive officer of Eze
Castle Software. "Our goal is to be seen as a technology partner
and not just a technology vendor. Both our product offering and our
service model reflect this commitment to understanding our clients'
business needs." "Difficult times demand dependable technology,"
says Michael Peltz, executive editor of Alpha. "Having a strong and
reliable order management system is critical for hedge fund
managers as they try to navigate markets roiled by the ongoing
financial crisis." About BNY ConvergEx Group BNY ConvergEx Group,
