Whilst reference data is often referred to as “static data” it is anything but. Our very experienced data team enjoys close relationships with exchanges and constantly monitors and updates our reference data as changes are made.
Our unmatched coverage, multi-source validation, automation and standardisation, backed by nearly three decades of experience working with the world’s largest financial institutions, ensure our data that is both accurate and honed for the most demanding users.
We work very closely with clients to ensure custom feeds deliver the exact data in the desired format. The key to assuring this is ensuring the specification is correct. This can take a number of weeks to refine in conjunction with the client. Once agreed, a test file is produced and further iterations are made, as required. Typically, it takes between 3-6 weeks from enquiry to go live in a client's environment.
