Starting today, Thomson Financial's real time products will offer FTSE data, in a live environment via the FTSE Global Distribution Service. The data will be disseminated on Thomson ONE, Thomson Financial's flexible, open application framework, from July 21st.
Jonathan Morris, European Product Director, Thomson Financial said, "We are constantly enhancing the breadth and depth of content available to meet the changing needs of our clients. We are pleased to be able to offer the first access to FTSE real-time data through our applications. FTSE clients will benefit from Thomson Financial's strong customer service and system support as well as the unrivalled functionality of our systems."
The new FTSE Global Distribution Service allows FTSE clients to access FTSE data from all major cities worldwide. The network is also available around the clock to support the needs of international clients. To deliver these enhancements, FTSE selected Radianz's leading global financial extranet, Radianznet to provide the Internet Protocol (IP) network connectivity.
Paul Grimes, FTSE Group Chief Operating Officer said, "As part of our commitment to provide superior customer service, FTSE developed its' own global real-time data distribution service to support the growing use of our international indexes by investors around the world. Through Thomson Financial, our customers around the world will now have direct connectivity to FTSE real-time data, around the clock, seven days a week, through a robust and reliable platform."
