NYSE Euronext (NYX) has launched NYSE Connect, the online community exclusively for executives of NYSE-and NYSE Amex-listed companies.
The announcement of this new listed-issuer platform coincides with the launch of two other web-based offerings the NYSE Alliance Network, and Profile of the Week designed to provide benefits to listed company management and employees and add to NYSE Euronexts portfolio of issuer products and services.
These new digital offerings complement other issuer services launched by NYSE Euronext in recent months such as the NYSE Market Access Center (MAC).
NYSE Connect – New collaborative forum for NYSE-listed company executives to stay connected, share practices and ideas
NYSE Connect, a private online community built exclusively for NYSE- and NYSE Amex-listed company executives, is being developed in conjunction with Passenger, a Los Angeles-based company engaged in creating and managing private online communities that drive user advocacy and insight. The first of its kind among exchanges, NYSE Connect provides NYSE- and NYSE Amex-listed company executives faster access to market information and economic reports via webcasts, surveys and blogs, while also enabling them to collaborate with peers by sharing ideas and practices.
NYSE Connect will feature private webcasts and live chat sessions as well as online polls and surveys that enable NYSE-listed company executives to form collective views and opinion on industry best practices, current news and issues, in addition to engaging in dialogue with top analysts, the NYSE and peers.
Our customers want new pathways to access information and share ideas, to connect with stakeholders and to drive incremental business and revenue, says Joe Mecane, executive vice president and chief administrative officer, US Execution, NYSE Euronext.
Our new service introductions address those interests and enhance our issuer services platform. Our goal is to leverage technology and information for the benefit of our world class family of listed companies, providing this community a content rich forum, advanced networking capabilities and new commercial opportunities that are unrivaled by any other marketplace.
In a collaborative marketplace, static information isnt enough, says Scott R. Cutler, EVP, and head of Listings, Americas, NYSE Euronext. Building upon current data and information assets, listed company management can now communicate online via NYSE Connect, which offers unprecedented access to essential information, people, and capital in a high-level, exclusive forum.
We are thrilled to serve the NYSE on this groundbreaking initiative to create a private online community, says Steve Howe, chief executive officer, Passenger. NYSE Connect represents an exciting opportunity for Passenger and the NYSE to work together to foster innovation, connection and collaboration among NYSE listed companies.
