enterprise security features of the BlackBerry 10 platform
LONDON, NEW YORK, 22 July 2013 - Thomson Reuters today announced the release of
Eikon for BlackBerry® 10, the first financial markets data application to be
developed using the native development tools for the BlackBerry 10 platform.
Thomson Reuters has worked closely with BlackBerry® throughout the development
of the latest Eikon app to ensure customers can benefit from the enhanced
privacy, enterprise security and user experience that BlackBerry 10 provides.
Eikon for BlackBerry 10 takes full advantage of the native BlackBerry 10
development tools to deliver a smooth user experience. It features a customized
dashboard for quick access to a customer's most important data, market-moving
news, seamless list monitoring and saved news searches with synchronization to
the Eikon desktop and a powerful briefcase feature for reading content offline.
The app is the latest addition to Thomson Reuters Eikon's mobile application
suite which includes highly-regarded applications for other platforms. Thomson
Reuters' platform strategy for Eikon means that there is a seamless customer
experience across all channels, mobile or otherwise, with all Eikon mobile
applications offering key Eikon innovations such as workflow-based design as
well as keyword search and dynamic autosuggest to help customers discover
information quickly and easily.
"In an industry where seconds and milliseconds matter, Thomson Reuters Eikon
ensures our customers can have instant access to the breaking news and financial
content they need to seize opportunities first - no matter where they are when
they occur," said John Manwaring, head of mobile for Thomson Reuters Eikon. "The
Eikon mobile interface follows the same simple, intelligent design principles
that Eikon is now well-known for, ensuring that everything our customers need is
right there at the surface. By working closely with BlackBerry and using the
native development tools, we have created an enterprise-grade Eikon mobile app
with the security our clients have come to expect from both Thomson Reuters and
the BlackBerry platform."
"Thomson Reuters Eikon embodies the future for market data apps with its clean
design and ease of use," said Martyn Mallick, VP of Global Alliances and
Business Development at BlackBerry.
"Thomson Reuters has created an effective solution for financial professionals
that need to stay connected to the markets and information while on the move."
Thomson Reuters Eikon is designed to provide a powerful and intuitive next-
generation solution for consuming real-time and historical data, connecting with
the financial markets community and executing financial markets transactions
across asset classes such as foreign exchange (FX), fixed income, commodities,
equities and derivatives. It realizes Thomson Reuters vision for a financial
markets desktop that is intelligent, simple and social and provides access to a
messaging community of over 190,000 financial professionals. Driven by powerful
