Why they won
dxFeed follows up its recent success in the WatersTechnoloy Asia Awards where it emerged on top in the best managed data service provider category, by winning the best artificial intelligence (AI) technology (trading) category in these awards, thanks to its impressive SummerFox offering.
It is no secret that firms and their employees on both sides of the industry are struggling more than ever to interrogate and monetize the large volumes of data they consume and maintain. SummerFox is designed specifically to address those challenges by combing market data, news and analytics—information types that traditionally tend not to sit together—into what is essentially a single source of truth for front- and middle-office personnel, allowing them to make faster, more informed business and investment decisions. Any tool that can simplify the lives of its users will find traction across the industry and dxFeed’s SummerFox is an outstanding example of that.
