Thomson Financial, an operating unit of The Thomson Corporation (TSX: TOC, NYSE: TOC) and a leading provider of information, news and technology solutions to the worldwide financial community, today announced an agreement with BNY ConvergEx Group, LLC, to offer Thomson Datafeeds (TDF) as an option within Eze Castle Software's global multi-asset class order management system (OMS).
Clients can now integrate TDF into their Eze OMS for access to Thomson Financial's broad range of content, including high quality time series index and constituent level data, pricing data and derived data across a full range of asset classes.
To simplify the integration process, TDF solves the technical issues by providing multiple tiers of delivery service through a single Application Programming Interface (API). This flexible real-time data feed offers customers the ability to manage infrastructure and bandwidth costs more effectively, and with more flexibility.
With TDF integrated into the Eze OMS, clients can view real-time P/L and cash balances, perform position and portfolio modeling and calculate order valuation and impact, and access Thomson Financial's market information for multiple asset classes including global and domestic equities, fixed income, forex and money markets.
"Thomson Financial provides deep and broad content, delivered though one of the industry's most reliable delivery mechanisms: a single, easy to integrate data feed," said Jason England, Associate Director, Datafeeds, Thomson Financial. "Now, our mutual clients will have easy access to the largest range of quality-checked benchmark and constituent level data, including well known content sets such as Datastream, First Call, Worldscope, SDC Platinum and ShareWatch," said England.
"Thomson Financial is an industry leader in providing market data feeds for multiple asset classes. Our clients will benefit from the integration with access to real-time data alongside their working orders and positions within the Eze product suite," says Jeff Shoreman, COO of Eze Castle Software. "It is a great example of our commitment to create partnerships that will directly benefit our clients and improve their operations," said Mr. Shoreman.
