The Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. (CME) is the largest futures exchange in the United States, trading over a record 4.4 million contracts per day in the second quarter of 2005, up 33 percent from the same period a year ago, via CME Globex, its electronic trading platform, and the trading floor. The exchange needed to improve its member firm financial statement auditing application, which was written in Microsoft Visual Basic version 6.0. After evaluating and rejecting J2EE, CME decided to implement the new auditing and tracking application as a Windows Forms application with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 2003 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000. The choice of Visual Basic .NET helped utilize the developers' knowledge of Visual Basic.
