Discounted Market Data Services Now Available To Securities Industry Association Member Firms

Date 25/05/2005

The Securities Industry Association’s new agreement with QUODD Financial Information Services provides member-firms with a complete set of market data services and information at discounted prices. Firms can now provide their employees, independent contractors, and correspondents with a full-featured, real-time equity data system delivered directly to their desktop, all at special group rates.

QUODD also integrates all third-party data within the company’s own systems and is centrally managed, which helps firms reduce the resources they dedicate to data management. QUODD is completely web-based.

“We selected QUODD because of the extensive features that can be integrated into the workstation,” said SIA Vice President and Managing Director, Technology Art Trager. “And the discount offered will make it an attractive solution that will lower a firm’s current costs by at least 25 percent.”

“We're excited to be working with SIA to provide its members with ‘The Next Generation Of Market Data Services’,” said Dennis Cassidy, executive chairman, QUODD Financial Services. “We believe that with our technology and thin client solution, we can offer a much better product at a substantially lower cost.”

QUODD Equity+ is a comprehensive workstation designed for the financial investment professional that offers a complete set of market data services and information bundled into a single desktop solution. QUODD Equity+ brings together real-time quotes, dynamic market monitors, and analytical charting tools with premium news, fundamental data, research, earnings estimates, filings, and market events.
