Thomson Financial, an operating unit of The Thomson Corporation, and Radianz, a provider of market communications infrastructure for the global financial services industry, have announced a strategic agreement where Thomson Financial will have access to Radianzs market communications infrastructure, RadianzNet, to deliver a wide range of Thomson Financial applications to clients in Europe and Asia.
As part of its connectivity strategy, Thomson Financial can use RadianzNet to provide its clients with access to Thomson ONE, the open application framework that incorporates Thomson Financials leading content sets and applications such as First Call, SDC Platinum and Autex. Existing clients of other Thomson Financial products, including Datastream, also can benefit from the agreement. Clients that already use RadianzNet for accessing or distributing one or more financial services should be able to start using Thomson ONE and other Thomson Financial applications in as little as 10 working days.
“We are pleased to be able to offer clients in Europe and Asia access to Thomson ONE through RadianzNets high-performance infrastructure,” stated Thomson Financials European Commercial Director, David Bilbé. “This complements our global network by leveraging RadianzNets connectivity to nearly 10,000 financial services sites worldwide.”
Radianzs President and CEO P. Howard Edelstein commented, “Thomson Financial is a top provider of market data and information services to the global financial industry. Our agreement is significant and a milestone in Radianzs history because it reinforces the neutrality of our infrastructure, which is designed to empower all financial institutions worldwide to communicate with their clients.”
