A few examples of Eikon internal apps in action:
Consolidating research reports for ease of access
A large asset manager’s internal equities research team produces a vast volume of insights, recommendations and price targets to be used by the firm’s portfolio managers.
The reports are accessed on the company’s intranet via a separate login and are searchable using a proprietary taxonomy.
App Studio allows these reports to be securely and privately accessed in their own app when users search for all available external research (broker, sell-side research etc.) using Eikon.
This leads to a dramatic increase in the use of internal research.
Price calculators: Reduced need for manual data entry
A sell-side bank creates and distributes proprietary price calculators to its front office staff which utilize custom algorithms and are powered by a combination of in-house and external data.
These price calculators currently reside on the bank’s own intranet and require traders to manually punch in quotes into their main financial desktop for further analysis or execution.
App Studio allows these calculators to be built inside of Eikon, easing access to them while reducing the need for manual data entry.
A research alternative to email
App Studio can even be used by organizations to more efficiently reach their own customers via the Eikon platform.
For instance, a sell-side bank’s research team sending a daily briefing to its buy-side customers can do this via an Eikon app instead of email.
The research can be updated in real time and will be integrated into the workflow of customers, instead of vying for attention in an over-stuffed inbox.
