Key features of Xpree Markets:

Intuitive Betting Interface

Easy to understand, easy to participate. In focus groups, we found that a betting metaphor was easier to understand than a pure stock trading metaphor (especially when shorting). By avoiding terms such as "bid", "ask", "long", "short" and "cover" the Xpree solution enables participation from ALL members of your group. This is Main Street, not Wall Street.

It's a Game

Learning from our background and customers in the video game industry, we incorporated game elements in our product, such as virtual prizes and high scores. These features, combined with a simple interface and innovative prizing, make forecasting fun.

Powerful Prediction Toolset

Xpree markets can be used to forecast dates, metrics or yes/no questions. The Xpree automated liquidity system ensures bets are taken even with limited numbers of participants (we have found valid results with as few as 10 employees participating). In addition, the sensitivity of forecasts to bets placed can be fine tuned to match the liquidity in the markets.

Data Security

Your data is hosted on dedicated servers in a secure, professionally-managed, SAS-70 grade datacenter. Featuring load balancing, multiple layers of hardware redundancy, as well as connectivity to major Internet backbones, the service offers reliability and security. For our paying customers, we offer end-to-end SSL-encrypted sessions, dedicated physical storage and other enhanced security. Alternatively, we can provide an Xpree server for clients wishing to host the software in their own datacenter.

Rapid Implementation

Requiring zero IT work, a Xpree market can be set up in minutes. To minimize ongoing administrator work, the products include online training videos for administrators and users and essential reporting tools.
