Asia Awards 2022: Best enterprise data management provider—S&P Global Market Intelligence
OVERVIEW
EDM from S&P Global Market Intelligence pulls data from multiple source into a central hub, creating a consistent version of the truth in an audited environment. Firms can keep their data decentralized and use data lineage to track the source etc. EDM is complemented by EDM Warehouse for warehousing and reporting.
“Over the past 12 months, we have continued to execute against a series of exciting client, product and business goals. Our mature cloud-based managed service has enabled us to help clients navigate the move to remote working, including go-lives for a variety of projects. We have delivered a major new module, the Data Dictionary, as part of our shift to a SaaS-based model. And, recognizing changes in financial markets, we have also expanded the breadth of our coverage to include private markets use-cases.”
Jamie Penniman, head of commercial strategy, software solutions, S&P Global Market Intelligence
THE SOLUTION
New product releases and client go-lives have continued throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. In July 2021, a new standalone module, the Data Dictionary, became the first release delivered on a new SaaS framework. Other significant developments include diversification to support private markets use cases.
WHAT’S TO COME
The focus is on the build-out of the next phases of the SaaS platform. More applications will be released on the SaaS platform to empower users to do more on their own. To make this possible, the user experience function is being expanded, alongside the product, development and client communications teams.
WHY THEY WON
Data Dictionary: The first release as part of the SaaS framework, the Data Dictionary delivers important new capabilities to end-users.
New APIs: Enhancing integration and easing the ingestion of third-party systems and datasets, new APIs are also allowing the publication of data to big data platforms and data lakes.
EDM visualization enhancements: New functional and performance-related enhancements mean the platform meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 definitions, making web content more accessible to people with disabilities.
Early adopter program: Clients are given an opportunity to preview and provide feedback on new releases.
SFDR regulation: EDM now supports the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), which has introduced new ESG transparency and disclosure requirements.
