Radianz today announced that Factiva, a Dow Jones & Reuters Company, will make available its world-class global news and business information to financial institutions via Radianz’s global financial extranet, RadianzNet.
RadianzNet is an Internet Protocol-based Cisco Powered Network and the newest connectivity option for the award-winning Factiva.com service, which provides financial institutions with tools for researching and monitoring news and business information about competitors, customers and industries. Factiva provides a variety of content for financial services professionals including the Dow Jones and Reuters Newswires, The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and nearly 8,000 leading sources in 22 languages.
Institutions that already use RadianzNet to access the more than 70 applications available, including trading platforms, content providers and many other applications across the straight-through processing chain, can now use their existing RadianzNet connection to access Factiva’s content. New and existing Factiva customers that select RadianzNet for access to Factiva.com also will be able to use this connection to access the range of applications available via RadianzNet.
“We are pleased to be aligned with such a leader in business-to-business e-commerce in the financial industry, Radianz,” says Stacey Gelman, chief product officer of Factiva. “Radianz’s commitment to state-of-the-art technology offers our clients secure and reliable connectivity,” continues Gelman. “Factiva is pleased to be integrating its global content within such a robust networking architecture.”
Chris Church, executive vice president and head of global sales and marketing for Radianz said, “Factiva’s selection of Radianz as a connectivity option will give our customers access to another important source of information used at the front end of the trading process. It also will enable Factiva’s customers to access many important applications further downstream in the trading process.”
