What would you say when clients ask about 'innovation' in Linedata products?

Hi Onur. People have been asking questions about moving to the cloud, how we can leverage dev ops and continuous delivery in terms of the software but in terms of functionality it's the use of alternative data, AI and taking things mobile.

Thanks Matt, alternative data is an interesting case as I assumed platform would come with traditional market data only

Then the platform is integrated with some major vendors alternative data already?

Hi Onur, we have a Data Management Service which takes data and normalises into the formats we require for our solutions. So whilst we have security master and pricing data we can also ingest things like ESG data or research conviction indicators

I see, makes sense

Think of it in terms of being able to put a data value against an asset, theoretically if we can associate a data point with an asset there is no limit to the data sources we could deliver

And there are AI tools to make use of this data, I assume built in-house?

We have Linedata Analytics which we can use on numerous data sources. The issue tends to be in the data licensing allowing such things to be used as they become a derivative of the data which can't then be distributed. The devil is always in the detail!

Ah yes indeed, good point

But say license allows it, and the client decides to use your tools, are there Linedata consultants who can help with AI/data projects?

There are yes, we have a small team based in Boston and London

Thanks Matt, interesting, I can't think of many competitors with this one-stop-shop capability
