Davidge Data Systems
Davidge Data Systems Corporation was "a privately held software company that specializes in middleware for trade ordering, execution and back-office connectivity for Wall Street firms,"[1] including Smart order routing.[2]
The company's DavNet includes the ability to efficiently handle large volumes of small orders.[3]
History[edit]
Davidge, founded 1982, was acquired by S1 Corporation, a holding company, in April, 2000, for about $20 million,[4] at a time when it seemed that "banks in the U.S. were going to control much of the retail brokerage" industry, especially as related to online trading.[1] S1 sold Davidge to Paris-based GL-trade in October, 2003.[5]
At that time, Davidge software was used for "40% of US listed options volume and served "40 New York Stock Exchange members ... and several of the 10 largest brokerage firms."[6]
Their international order routing includes Canada[7] and Britain.[8]
