CMEX (China Milan Equity Exchange) is the first equity exchange platform set up in Europe to help European companies gain access to the ongoing privatization process of Chinese State-owned enterprises. China's equity exchanges were set up by the Chinese government in an effort to ensure the transparent, regulated, fair and open privatization of state-owned equity.
Background
In 2003, the Chinese Government launched the widest privatization policy of State-owned enterprises ever implemented in the world's economic history. Thousands of State-owned companies were put on sale through a standardized procedure designed to ensure transparency and efficiency in the acquisition process by private enterprises.
Foreign companies have the chance to participate to the bidding process for the privatization of Chinese state-owned companies through equity exchange platforms that are directly supervised by the State Assets Supervision Administration Commission (SASAC). CBEX (China Beijing Equity Exchange) is the Chinese largest equity exchange, having completed 4,151 transactions in 2008 for a combined value in excess of 10 billion Euros.
Since 2007, CMEX is the exclusive partner in Italy of CBEX, operating as a collector and processor of financial information available through the CBEX platform for the scouting of Chinese private and State-Owned Enterprises. CMEX assists Italian and European investors interested in penetrating the Chinese M&A market.
Within the Go Global strategy (Go Global), promoted by the Chinese Government to encourage its enterprises to invest overseas, CMEX also represents a privileged channel for Chinese companies wishing to expand their business abroad.
CMEX originates from a business project of the Law Firm "Carone & Partners - in association with Grandall Legal Group".

In computing, Flow is middleware software which allows data-integration specialists to connect disparate systems (whether on-premises, hosted or in the cloud); transforming and restructuring data as required between environments. Flow functionality can be utilised for data integration projects, for EDI and for data-conversion activities. Developed by Flow Software Ltd in New Zealand, Flow is available through a variety of partner companies or directly from Flow Software in New Zealand and Australia.
Integration software allows organisations to continue using existing applications, overcoming the need to customize or upgrade as their requirements change. By using integration software, many businesses benefit from reduced dependence on manual keying of data and the avoidance of costs and delays caused by keying errors.
Features
Flow enables data management:
* Transformation of data, within and between sets
* Generation and consumption of data, accessioning from specified sets within structures
* Transportation of data files, using various transport formats, including secure
* Specification of task work-flows
* Notification of transactions and formats via reports
Data Generation
Flow accesses and generates data in structured formats, from files or databases.
Flow can access and read from, or write to databases using either the SQL89 or SQL92 specification. Informix provides support for extended SQL use.
* Microsoft SQL Server 2000 & above
* Microsoft Access 97 97 above
* MySQL 4.x
* Oracle 8i
* InterBase 5.6
* Informix
* IBM DB2
*
* Any ODBC compliant database as per [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714177(VS.85).aspx the Microsoft ODBC specification]
* Any ADO compliant data source as per the Microsoft ADO specification
Flow can access and read from, or write to various file types.
* Any ASCII format file
* Any EDI type file based on either UN/EDIFACT or ANSI X12 standards
* Any XML file based on XML standards such as SOAP, XHTML or ebXML
Data Transformation
A visual mapping engine is used to configure data transformation between data sets. Data can be restructured as it is transformed, thus allowing for dissimilar data structures between source and destination. Flow data access operates independently of the mapping layer. The applied mapping logic uses events containing Object Pascal code.
Data Transportation
Flow transports generated data and files using the following formats:
* Local file access
* LAN
* FTP
* HTTP/S POST
* HTTP/S GET
* SMTP
* POP
* ebMS
* SOAP
User Interface
The Flow user interface allows users to create and processes, activate processes and view activity logs.
Email notifications of Flow process activity can also be configured.
Actions
Flow uses predefined processing of events that can be executed either on schedule, or event driven. Actions and their results are logged and available via the user interface.
Actions include:
* Transformation of data or files
* Generation of specific reports
* Windows-based shell commands
* Outward-bound transports of data or files
* Selected SQL statements
* Custom plugin actions
Reports
Flow includes a report writer based on the software Report Builder. The report writer can create custom notification reports providing users with details related to their transactions. Reports can be created in XML, PDF, JPEG and XLS. Reports can be embedded into email messages if required.
