Xenomorph announce the release of XLLSpyTM
Xenomorph, providers of software products and consultancy services for the derivatives industry, announce the release of a new, unique product, XLLSpy.
XLLSpy converts proprietary option analytics, in a Microsoft Excel XLL add-in, to a Microsoft COM library, instantly. For example, an XLL add-in, containing any number of functions, can be converted into a COM library using XLLSpy in just a few seconds, hence saving weeks and months of error-prone development time.
Once converted, proprietary option analytics can be used independently of Excel and accessed directly from a wide variety of system architectures and development environments such as Visual Basic, Visual C++ and Delphi.
The main advantage for traders and risk managers, in having option analytics as COM components, is that new financial products can be integrated into risk management systems faster than ever before.
Brian Sentance, managing director of Xenomorph, describes XLLSpy as 'an essential tool for quants and systems staff who want to reduce the turnaround time for taking new derivative products from spreadsheet add-ins to reusable COM components within core IT systems'.
