NetCETA is an end-to-end solution for derivatives exchanges - trading, exchange administration and clearing house operations. It is Internet-ready, capable of being accessed through a LAN, direct dial-up and through the Internet cloud.

A unique feature of NetCETA is that it integrates Broker front office capabilities along with Exchange Automation thereby enabling a member of an exchange to have n-number of sub traders in remote locations who can place orders on the system and have them Straight Through Processed. The Broker/Member can set the framework for each of his sub-traders separately with parameterizable limits, margin requirements, access controls, audit trails, account self-help etc. This eliminates expensive investment by the brokers in their own front office systems.

In 1999, the first version of NETCETA was implemented for Bombay Oils & Oilseeds Exchange.
