licensing subscription model.

“Looking to widen the reach of our activities into new geographical areas, we
were impressed by the support Orc provided and the competence demonstrated
during a business-sensitive phase,” said Mr. Marc Renell, Managing Director,
Renell Wertpapierhandelsbank. “Orc offers a distinct advantage through a

rests on our comprehensive trading functionality as well as on our broad
