FT Interactive Data Europe, the supplier of financial information and analytical software, has formed an alliance with AIM Software, a provider of data management applications. The aim is to distribute information from FT Interactive Data via the GAIN data management platform owned by AIM.
“We have been working with AIM Software for several years now and are delighted to announce the extended mapping of our data via GAIN,” says Graham Parry, manager of FT Interactive Data’s European Business Development Group. “This collaboration provides an opportunity to offer a powerful product, facilitating access to FT Interactive Data’s wide range of content through AIM Software’s data management platform. It is an excellent example of how FT Interactive Data works with software vendors for the benefit of customers.”
FT Interactive Data will provide global pricing, including evaluations, dividend, corporate action and descriptive information via GAIN, whose users can process reference, price and corporate actions data automatically across the lifecycle of data capture, cleansing, consolidation, enrichment and storage. GAIN aims to allow users to build a ‘golden copy’ of data.
“The depth of FT Interactive Data’s offering, in combination with the scalable data management platform GAIN, enables firms to comprehensively manage pricing, reference and corporate actions data,” says Josef Somme egger, Head of Business Development at AIM Software. “This new offering combines the expertise and know-how of both firms, and will help financial institutions to cut costs by increasing the reliability and the efficiency of their data processing.”
