LONDON, March 1, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
FD Technologies (AIM: FDP.L) (Euronext Growth: FDP.I) announces that it has
entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Microsoft to expand the
reach of its KX Insights streaming data analytics platform as more
organisations look to modernise their data infrastructure for real-time
decision making. Firstly, KX Insights will be embedded natively on the
Microsoft Azure platform as a first class service, with KX generating revenue
based on consumption. Secondly, KX has agreed to work with Microsoft to target
new applications and services that will accelerate innovation and growth for
organisations in the financial services sector.
KX Insights on Azure
KX recognises there is a growing demand across industries for analytics
solutions that can efficiently support client needs across both real-time
streaming and historic data to enable real time business-critical decisions. KX
Insights on Azure will enable customers to store and access their data using
complex event processing, high-performance analytics and machine learning
interfaces on one unified and easy-to-use platform. Tightly integrated within
Microsoft's intelligent cloud ecosystem, the platform will work seamlessly with
Microsoft services.
Designed for ease of deployment and commercial adoption, KX Insights on
Azure represents a first-of-its kind native integration of a third-party
streaming analytics solution on Azure. It will provide a quick and easy
experience for customers to boost productivity, enabling significant cost
reductions over legacy systems and will contribute towards an organisation's
Azure consumption commitment. This aligns incentives for Azure and KX sales
teams, enabling greater collaboration and engagement on sales and marketing
initiatives with enterprise clients.
Joint development for capital markets
Additionally, KX intends to work with Microsoft to develop applications and
services, leveraging KX's capabilities as the world's fastest time-series
database as a core building block. This collaboration aims to help the capital
markets ecosystem including exchanges, buy-side firms and sell-side
institutions create high-value insights that facilitate real-time decision
making.
Seamus Keating, CEO of FD Technologies, said: "This strategic partnership
with Microsoft accelerates our mission to enable organisations to drive value
from their real-time data assets. Enterprises will benefit from the unrivalled
performance, scalability and security of KX Insights optimised for Microsoft
Azure. In addition, we are excited to partner with Microsoft in developing
technology solutions that address the demanding requirements of financial
services organisations, particularly in capital markets where KX has a
market-leading position. This is a landmark agreement for KX, with significant
strategic benefits supporting our growth ambitions."
Bill Borden, Corporate Vice President of Worldwide Financial Services at
Microsoft said: "KX Insights delivers industry leading, real-time streaming
analytics solutions that transform how firms derive insights from market data.
Combining the full range of Microsoft's Intelligent Cloud capabilities with KX
technology and expertise, we look forward to empowering our capital markets and
financial services customers with new, compelling solutions for faster
