The consortium, comprised of Nimbrix, Thomson Reuters, Microsoft and consultancy KPMG, and led by a number of industry veterans from institutions such as BlackRock, UBS and BGI, aims to launch a platform leveraging cloud, open-API, software-as-a-service (SaaS) and blockchain technologies running on Microsoft Azure.

The sell side has, so far, made greater investments into distributed-ledger technologies projects, an imbalance which Nimbrix is seeking to redress.

"It's a revolutionary approach to software for the financial services sector," said Simon Bullers, Nimbrix CEO, in a statement. "Traditional solutions for this industry take years to deploy and transition to, but you can bring up a Nimbrix platform in minutes, and then transition to it in months, and because it's SaaS, running on Microsoft Azure, firms can avoid huge, upfront capital costs.
