The Eikon solution is one of Thomson Reuters’ flagship products that helps aggregate and process real-time and historical data, which collectively enable financial markets transactions and connectivity with the financial markets community.

One of the impetuses for the initiative was to eliminate the plausibility of data inconsistencies, which can occur when third-party applications for trade and order management are often fed through different or disjointed data sources. Subsequently, Eikon’s Server API will help mitigate these data discrepancies by ensuring congruent data is used across multiple applications.

According to Michael Chin, Global Head of Equities at Thomson Reuters, in a recent statement on the partnership, “Integrated workflow is very important to our buy-side customers as it improves efficiency and reduces errors and costs. However, at the same time, they need the flexibility to work with the trading tools of their choice. By being open to working with third-party EMS/OMS providers to fully integrate Eikon data, Thomson Reuters is supporting that choice.”
