Market data management
The industry-leading software that enables firms to consume, manipulate, transform and manage Refinitiv and other market data sources.
Managing market data is a constant challenge
The volume of market data being used by financial services firms of all types is skyrocketing. At the same time, data management use cases are becoming increasingly complex while firms are seeing diminishing returns on building their own market data systems themselves.
To meet these challenges – and many others – firms are turning to the Refinitiv Real-Time Distribution System. This software suite enables financial services firms to build an open market data platform – or let Refinitiv do it for them – that interacts with Refinitiv’s streaming real-time data service. The software supports the consumption of other vendor feeds, and firms can create their own internal streaming pricing services as well as manipulate, transform and manage all of those data sources, allowing them to optimize network, compute and storage spend. Additionally, RTDS gives firms the ability to accurately and compliantly administer and report on 3rd party data entitlements.
