NEW YORK – May 5, 2010 – Eikos Partners (www.eikospartners.com) a leading innovative business consulting and project-based technology services to large investment banks, hedge funds and asset management organizations, introduces epCatalyst. epCatalyst is a rapid application platform for Silverlight, which Eikos Partners uses to deliver sophisticated browser based applications.

“We designed this to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of delivering capability to our clients, reducing the risk, time and costs” says partner David Lattimore-Gay, “and to show that Silverlight is able to deliver industrial strength solutions to mission critical needs”.

The epCatalyst framework is tiered to allow for multiple display objects, called “widgets” to have unique styles, and customization while maintaining the underlying business function. Widgets can communicate with each other to allow an intuitive feel. Underlying the display tier is an integration layer that manages the organizing of data from multiple sources, static, interactive & real-time. The web services layer manages connections to data sources and service providers.

epCatalyst was built to allow for flexibility in styling and presentation, and using Eikos Partners creative design team, the ability to deliver an enhanced User Experience.

epCatalyst, employed with our agile approach allows Eikos Partners to deliver:

• Proof of concepts built from real-world components
• Rapid and continuous streams of capability
• Ease of integration into existing systems infrastructure
• Flexibility to add new functions and interactions
• Unique and differentiated applications
• Heightened levels of User Experience

Solutions based on epCatalyst have been deployed to clients as the basis for their internal and external applications.

Using epCatalyst, Eikos Partners has been able to drastically reduce the time to delivery, eliminate infrastructure risk by using a proven one, and allow clients to concentrate on working with us to deliver differentiation.
