Agility – agility means not being beholden to a single vendor. Trading firms need to integrate data from multiple sources, to validate and enrich those sources, and to distribute that content to their choice of workflow applications. Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform is a completely open information platform that allows customers to integrate any type of data into any application.

Intelligence – trading firms need to make the most of their intellectual capital by leveraging proprietary analytics, pricing and risk models to enhance all of their business processes. Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform includes all of the components that firms need to do this, with systems for calculating and publishing any kind of proprietary content, along with web and mobile display technologies to create bespoke information portals for internal users and clients.

Performance – to drive high performance infrastructure, firms need information technologies that are scalable enough to handle ever increasing message volumes without introducing significant latency overheads. The Enterprise Platform leverages the latest multi-threaded software and processor architectures for maximum throughput and minimal latency, along with a highly efficient binary message transport for optimal bandwidth utilization and performance.

Availability – the Enterprise Platform is built on tried and tested technologies that already support thousands of trading floors and tens of thousands of mission-critical applications across the globe. With in-built features for load balancing and hot standby, the Platform is supported by a resilient data architecture that our customers depend on.

Control – firms that enable open flows of enterprise information will face a wide range of administrative challenges. The Enterprise Platform allows users to tightly control and administer all their information flows, supporting delivery of data across any asset class and any quality-of-service – from full-tick, full-depth low latency data, delayed and conflated feeds, all the way down to simple snapshot retrieval and private message streams. The Platform also offers an open suite of tools to manage applications that consume or publish data; automate entitlements to optimize spend and minimize admin burden; and log usage to ensure compliance with licensing policies.
