Overview

The vigorous spread of PCs, smartphones and tablets makes it easy to view market data in various ways. This, however, also causes an overflow of information, and as a consequence, it is difficult to find out appropriate data that precisely meets your needs. To solve this issue, IDS provides appropriate data with accurate understanding of client needs and data definitions using NRI's expertise in financial information analysis nurtured over the years.

Clients

Banks, Asset management companies, Trust banks, Financial market data vendors, Life insurance companies, Universities and research institutes

Features

Use of NRI's database

Many of NRI's solutions that support clients' mission-critical operations such as e-AURORA, STAR, T-STAR, I-STAR and BESTWAY are linking to IDS data. Clients can use IDS's accurate and proven data services through such solutions.

Easy to establish a data receiving environment

When using IDS (standard), clients can choose the ISDN dial-up networks or other Internet connection for FTP to receive data. It is only necessary to prepare data transmission devices such as receiver machines and routers for FTP access.

Swift response to regulatory changes

IDS (standard) provides data transmission services promptly and precisely reflecting regulatory changes. Past examples include Companies Act 2006, a new JASDAQ market launched in 2007, outright sales of FBs and TBs to treasury discount bills in 2008, introduction of electronic stock certificates in 2009, OSE/JASDAQ merger in 2010, IFRS introduction in 2011, and the expansion of TSE's arrowhead system in 2012.
