THOMSON REUTERS UNVEILS NEXT-GENERATION DESKTOP
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Thomson Reuters Eikon - powerful information, communication and trading hub
for today's financial professional
New York -September 14, 2010 - Thomson Reuters today launched its
next-generation desktop for financial market professionals. Thomson Reuters
Eikon will redefine how financial professionals work by placing the most
comprehensive market information, news, analytics and trading tools available
into a desktop as simple to use and collaborative as the Internet.
Thomson Reuters Eikon is designed to catapult market data into the 21(st)
century and leverages information into easy-to-use web style search, aggregates
the best of social networking technology, and allows for seamless mobile
interchange from the office, home or while on the move. Eikon is available on
multiple computer platforms, Blackberry and iPhone devices with a single sign-on
to access information anywhere, at anytime.
The launch of Thomson Reuters Eikon marks the third component of the company's
bold innovation agenda to provide today's financial professionals with new tools
to thrive in a new era. It follows the recent launch of Thomson Reuters
Elektron, a new ultra-high speed data distribution network built to cope with
the ever growing volumes of data generated by global markets and Reuters
Insider, an interactive on-demand video platform. This highly innovative
multimedia service is a key part of the Eikon experience, offering a totally new
way of consuming professional video news on-demand and fully contextualized
within the desktop.
"Today's generation of financial professionals demand tools that are intuitive,
rich in data and analytics, and highly connected, to give them an edge. Eikon is
a fundamental shift for our company and our industry. It will constantly adapt
to help customers thrive in this new era. The launch signifies another key
milestone in our strategy to build an open and connected global financial
community," said Devin Wenig, CEO, Thomson Reuters Markets.
In a world where markets, geographies and asset classes are increasingly
correlated, the need for easily accessible information becomes vital. Thomson
Reuters Eikon offers a simple way to access information using the latest
semantic tagging technology and removes the need to remember instrument codes or
use complex interfaces. The Eikon experience continuously relates content and
analytics to the user and the community. Eikon is delivered by simple internet
technology; it can be downloaded and installed from the web in seconds. With
seamless upgrades, the technology enables a single powerful desktop to evolve
and keep apace with rapidly changing markets and customer needs.
According to Larry Tabb, founder and CEO of TABB Group; "Markets are changing
faster than ever before just as governments are altering how the financial world
operates. Everything is in flux. To succeed, financial professionals
increasingly need new trading tools that offer a high degree of personalization,
the ability to intelligently search for information and the facility to
collaborate globally. New and better desktops will enable the individual to
analyze and adapt to this increasingly complex and changing environment."
A core innovation of Eikon is to harness social networking technology for
financial markets and to connect financial professionals around the globe to
create valuable communities. With the tools to publish views or ideas to
targeted groups and share real-time rich content and analysis with colleagues
and market counterparts, financial professionals can build relationships and
grow their business.
"Eikon has a lot of potential, especially considering its ability to integrate
the breadth of Thomson Reuters offerings into a one stop shop," said Harry
Moseley, senior managing director and chief information officer, Blackstone.
"Eikon is innovative in that it also targets 'Generation Y' users who expect
intuitive, web-based social platforms."
To complete the trading cycle, Eikon seamlessly links to some of the world's
deepest pools of foreign exchange, equities, fixed income and trading venues
such as Tradeweb; with easy-click trade capabilities so that market
professionals can act in real-time.
As society and the industry experiment with new ways of working and new
technologies, Thomson Reuters Eikon will evolve to meet those needs. It is the
beginning of a journey that will help today and tomorrow's financial
professionals succeed in this new era. For further information please
