IMD/IRD Awards 2017—All the Winners and Highlights from the Evening

FactSet also won the Best Analytics Provider category that it also won last year.

Bloomberg, meanwhile, won the Best Evaluated Prices Service Provider award, which was won last year by Interactive Data

SIX Financial Information scooped three categories; Best Corporate Actions Provider, which it won for the eighth year in a row: Most Innovative Regulatory Solution for its Sanctioned Securities Monitoring Service; and the Best Overall Data/Service Provider award, which was awarded based on a combination of the reader poll, submissions in judged categories, and other industry initiatives.

Thomson Reuters and SmartStream each won two awards. Thomson Reuters won Best Reference Data Provider and Best Mobile Initiative for its Eikon Messenger on Mobile service, while SmartStream’s Reference Data Utility won Best Reference Data Integration Vendor and Best Reference Data Initiative for the introduction of its Listed Derivatives Reference Data Service.

This year’s inductee into the Inside Market Data Hall of Fame is Chris Johnson, senior product manager for market data at HSBC Securities Services, in recognition of his tireless efforts to educate industry practitioners on topics relating to reference data and regulation.
