Supports business objectives

GENIUM Market Info enables exchanges to leverage their market data assets to support bottom line business objectives, including:

• Increase liquidity. Greater market data availability, and the investor confidence it fosters, is a major contributor to increasing liquidity in a particular marketplace.
• Develop revenue in new markets. Exchanges with a market data strategy, and the technology to implement it, are able to reach new customers through focused data packages and value added data at a range of price points.
• Meet low latency requirements. Exchanges need data dissemination technology that enables them to deliver data with the speed required for automated trading and other high value applications.
• Meet compliance requirements. Increasing market regulation and requirements for greater transparency continue to drive demand for more market data.
• Strengthen brand. By reaching new markets directly and gaining more control over distribution and packaging, an exchange can better protect and leverage its brand in a global marketplace.
• Control distribution. By developing more market data services and reaching more customers, exchanges are able to gain greater control over data assets and expand existing distribution channels.
• Control costs. Exchanges can better control infrastructure and maintenance costs with scalable data management technology that can run on multiple platforms and can easily meet changing business requirements.

Proven solution

GENIUM Market Info is based on proven technology and provides an end-to-end software infrastructure for acquiring, validating, enhancing and delivering data directly to exchange customers, data vendors and distribution channels.

Key advantages include:

• Quick time to market. Enables exchanges to quickly and easily integrate new data sources, create value added data products and calculations, and introduce new products on-the-fly.
• Meets low latency requirements. The system is highly configurable and can meet low latency performance levels even for environments with value added processing and even lower levels for algo trading applications. The key is the product’s configurability – using the hardware and processing power available to meet virtually any speed and throughput requirements.
• Highly scalable. The system is highly scalable by adding processing power and hardware without having to fully reconfigure systems or impact downstream applications and processes
• Multi-platform. GENIUM Market Info is hardware, operating system and database independent, making it easy to run on most hardware and software environments.
• Low cost/high performance. The system takes full advantage of processing power and distributed processing to get high performance out of low cost platforms, including systems running Linux.
• Highly flexible. GENIUM Market Info provides the ability to easily package new data types within business development initiatives.
