Infront is a market data vendor of more than 40 international exchanges in real-time and adds new markets based on demand. Diverse content such as news, fundamental information, estimates, contributed and specialist data are also available as part of Infront’s hosted market data platform. Full redundancy and automated load distribution are key components to the network’s consistently high performance and up-time.
With Infront solutions, sell side players become valuable partners to their buy side clients by providing cost efficient electronic trading on worldwide exchanges. This has a direct impact on increased trading volumes. The solutions are unique because of speed, trading integration and market data flexibility, straightforward user administration and white labelling possibilities.
With Infront solutions, buy side customers enjoy professional level information terminal functionality with a fully integrated order execution platform connecting to their choice of brokers. Unlike our competition, we do not build the high cost of market data into the software. With Infront, customers only pay for the market data they need.
