(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Move further underlines Company's commitment to connect buy and sell side
professionals across disparate financial communities
LONDON, 05 August, 2013 - Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of
intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced that
it has expanded the Eikon Messenger community on the buy-side through the
integration of its FXall clients. All FXall customers will now be able to
seamlessly connect, interact and collaborate with Eikon Messenger's global
community of 190,000 financial professionals directly from their FXall toolbar,
via the latest release of FXall Trading.
Instant messaging has become a critical part of the financial community's price
discovery and pre-trade operations. Instant messaging communities, however, are
traditionally allied to a particular company or technology platform which can
make them siloed, disparate and closed by design. As a result, financial markets
professionals are currently limited to making contacts within their chosen
messaging network or forced to manage the complexity of multiple messaging
systems.
Thomson Reuters Eikon Messenger is built on open-based standards and offers a
secure, federated messaging system that through the integration of FXall further
drives the Company's mission to more effectively bring together sell-side and
buy-side communities. FXall clients, which account for approximatly 1,300
institutional firms across a range of traders, asset managers, corporate
treasurers, broker-dealers, prime brokers, market makers and more, can now
access the live feed of continuous cross-asset global macro data, news and
market expert commentary available over Thomson Reuters Eikon Messenger's 27
global chat forums. They will also be able to collaborate in real time with
liquidity providers and colleagues through instant electronic conversations as
well as create public or private communities from across a global network of
over 190,000 financial professionals, from 170 countries.
"Financial professionals depend on instant messaging tools to interact with the
wider financial community and want tools that allow them to interact,
irrespective of their choice of provider. This is why we've always been focused
on using open standards and with connecting with other widely used instant
messaging systems," said David Craig, president of Financial & Risk at Thomson
Reuters. "By opening up Eikon Messenger to the FXall community we are enabling
the sell-side and buy-side to communicate more efficiently within networks they
already trust. This is about helping our customers find new counterparties and
unearth new business opportunities whilst reducing complexity."
