Global Enterprise Solutions

Operating your own ticker plant is expensive and complex. Even if you've outsourced the feed handlers and middleware to a software vendor, you're still responsible for quite a bit of integration, day to day support of the data, and operations for your ticker plant.

In the old days, you were able to use a consolidated feed from market data vendors and leave much of the data and operations headache to them. But now that markets trade electronically and your firm's trading applications require direct-feed latencies, you can not use consolidated feeds any longer. Or can you?

Unlike any other vendor in the world today, ACTIV's solutions are able to deliver direct-feed latencies along with all the benefits of a fully managed and consolidated market data feed. ACTIV is a leader in both technology as well as content management.

 

Some of the ACTIV features which Global Institutions will benefit from include:

Fully Managed	All of ACTIV's solutions are fully managed. ACTIV's data quality team continuously manages the content, apply corporate actions data, and adjust for data errors. ACTIV's operational team monitor your ticker plant, load balance, and upgrade feed handlers, even when installed on your site.
Permissioning	ACTIV's market data system includes a fully featured and exchange approved permissioning system to allow either you or ACTIV to be Vendor of Record. Permissioning can be achieved for data sets including exchanges sources, internal data and even field level permissioning.
Global Distribution	If your business is truly global, building ticker plants in every market center is just not possible. ACTIV's technologies enable very efficient compression and redistribution of content so you can locate your ticker plants in strategic locations and then redistribute low-latency content efficiently to each consuming location.
Flexible Commercial Model	ACTIV's commercial policies are much more flexible than most market data vendors offering our clients data 'ownership' for storage as well as unlimited enterprise agreements if desired.
