About AEMS

AEMS is the leading global provider of technology solutions for
exchanges, clearing houses, banks, brokers, and intermediaries.

AEMS was created by two industry leaders - Atos Origin and
Euronext - who combined their interests to focus on providing
technology exclusively for financial markets. By taking the people,
assets, and technology from both of these organisations and bringing
them together into a single, independent company, the opportunity for
real leadership in this sector was created.

As market leaders, we value the insight of our clients and as
their technology requirements develop, we collaborate to find the most
suitable product solutions for their needs.

We serve global markets throughout the trading process - banks,
brokers, asset managers and intermediaries; exchanges; clearing houses
and CSDs.

We employ 1,300 industry experts worldwide and have offices in
London, Paris, Brussels, Chicago, Dubai, and Hong Kong.
