To enjoy the benefits of the enhanced privacy, enterprise security and user experience that Blackberry 10 provides, Thomson Reuters has launched Eikon App for Blackberry 10. It is the first financial market data application developed using the native development tools for the Blackberry 10 platform. Thomson has worked closely with Blackberry to develop this tool.
To deliver a smooth user experience the app features a customized dashboard for quick access to a customer’s most important data, market-moving news, seamless list monitoring and saved news searches with synchronization to the Eikon desktop and a powerful briefcase feature for reading content offline.
The app is the latest addition to Thomson Reuters Eikon’s mobile application suite which includes highly-regarded applications for other platforms. Thomson Reuters’ platform strategy for Eikon means that there is a seamless customer experience across all channels, mobile or otherwise, with all Eikon mobile applications offering key Eikon innovations such as workflow-based design as well as keyword search and dynamic autosuggest to help customers discover information quickly and easily.
“In an industry where seconds and milliseconds matter, Thomson Reuters Eikon ensures our customers can have instant access to the breaking news and financial content they need to seize opportunities first – no matter where they are when they occur,” says John Manwaring, head of mobile for Thomson Reu
ters Eikon.
“The Eikon mobile interface follows the same simple, intelligent design principles that Eikon is now well-known for, ensuring that everything our customers need is right there at the surface. By working closely with BlackBerry and using the native development tools, we have created an enterprise-grade Eikon mobile app with the security our clients have come to expect from both Thomson Reuters and the BlackBerry platform,” he added.
The app is designed to provide a powerful and intuitive next-generation solution for consuming real-time and historical data, connecting with th
e financial markets community and executing financial markets transactions across asset classes such as foreign exchange (FX), fixed income, commodities, equities and derivatives.
Driven by powerful search engine technology, Eikon carries real-time data, news, charts, insightful commentary, analytics and trade execution tools through views that can be customized to individual user preferences and workflow.
