KAMCO Celebrates New Year by Launching New Website
(15/01/2010)
|
|
KIPCO Asset Management Company (KAMCO) the premier investment company in Kuwait, has collaborated with IDS to transform their web portal into an active extension of KAMCO’s core operations as a provider of innovative and performance driven financial solutions.
The design of the new website adheres to KAMCO’s corporate identity and is inspired by the Fibonacci number sequence and the golden section which corresponds to the interpretation that in order to progress to the next stage, one must be aware and knowledgeable of the previous one.
Nevertheless, the essence of this re-launch is focused around the website’s ability to enhance all aspects of KAMCO’s services. The website integrates IDS OTS system which enables KAMCO clients a fully automated stock trade with Kuwait Stock Exchange without broker intermediation, in addition to providing many analytical tools which enhance decision making and minimize trade risks. These include a market watchlist, enhanced with sms and email alerts notifications service that is available to all of KAMCO’s clients. Furthermore, the website provides client with direct real time access to their KAMCO Portfolio Holdings statement and a manifold of historical and analytical reports related to Kuwait Traded Stocks and companies.
The site’s analytical functions and its direct link to KSE and international Stock exchange markets, provide a mutually reinforcing platform for KAMCO’s Research Publications & Reports. By interweaving Microsoft Silverlight into the website IDS has allowed KAMCO’s website to create within seconds visually stunning animated charts depending on the visitor’s inputs.

Beirut Travel Academy – The Online Launch Journey (23/03/2009)
|
|
A new color palette was not all that IDS did for the Beirut Academy for Travel & Sciences (B.A.T.S.) web page. The team took upon itself to create a dynamic & flexible website that will evolve and grow with the Academy.
Being the leading Travel, Tourism and Freight education, training & recruitment consultants, as well as marketing consultants, B.A.T.S. had very concrete website requirements.
The aim of the design concept was to display and advertise all the B.A.T.S. business activities and events without extensive click through. The dynamic Advertisement Panel & the News Headlines side banner came in play to providing a snapshot from the moment the visitor “steps through the door”.
However, the true accomplishment lies in the CMS online back-office solution. This has given B.A.T.S. complete creative reign over the current and future content of the site. As the site develops in the web-space you will notice the emergence of new sections, sub-sections, documents and other useful content added by B.A.T.S. without resorting to the use of complex programming or outside help.
The final touch by IDS will be the launch of the B.A.T.S. website dynamic recruitment module in the upcoming month.

Stock Options Market in Kuwait launches IDS Stock Options Solution (01/03/2009)
|
The Kuwait Financial Centre (Markaz) is one of the leading asset management and investment banking institutions in the Arab region. In an effort to focus on meeting client investment needs, Markaz introduced the first options trading platform in the Middle East by issuing and selling derivative instruments (Call options) on KSE listed stocks in 1992. And in order to support this decision Marakaz implemented a Multi- Module Options Trading Software Solution.
Because Markaz’s core values are based on being flexible and fast in adapting to change, Markaz took the tough decision not to upgrade the old system, which was designed in 1992, but to invest in a new full fledged solution.
The new solution had to not only fulfill the current requirements and overcome the shortcomings of the current software, but also have the capacity within its architecture to incorporate Markaz vision of future of the Kuwait Option Trading market.
Outsourcing the solution needed to be handed to a company with a reputation of integrity and professionalism, in addition to significant experience and expertise in building financial solutions. Another requirement was the in-depth knowledge of the rules and regulation of the Kuwait Stock Exchange market and its IT infrastructure.
Consequently, IDS was handed the challenge in all of its aspects.
The intricacy of the Options Trading process demanded a well functioning workflow of several operational cross integrated modules. Once the Option Market opens, simultaneous synchronization needs to be maintained between the screens in the Kuwait Stock Exchange and the Brokers’ Module, all in sync with the Markaz Backoffice Module. As all orders are executed and validated via the Kuwait Stock Exchange through a secure validation module. The back office is further supported by separate pricing and analytical modules.
And 9 months after getting on the project, 2 months of on site implementation and one month of training, the solution is fully functional and a complete transition of all operations and data has been made.
Markaz are completely satisfied with the final results of the cooperation and Mr. Hussein Zeineddine, Assistant Vice President and Stock Options project manager says “The Stock Options System, developed by IDS for Markaz, has answered our needs, and we are impressed with its high performance, friendly interfaces, and accurate results."
Mr. Zeineddine concluded, - "The entire experience was a success and all steps - from specifications to implementation - were smooth, efficient, and on time”.
