Reuters Wins but Bloomberg Keeps Title
FRONT PAGE: SPECIAL REPORT
Reuters' accomplishments in 2005 earned it six IMD Awards, but Bloomberg retained its title as Data Provider of the Year (Data Vendor).
The awards, which will be handed out at the IMD Awards dinner following the Inside Market Data 2006 conference on Wednesday, April 5, are voted upon by the readers of Inside Market Data.
Reuters' awards included Data Management Vendor of the Year (Services or Solutions) for expanding the functionality of the DataScope service.
Reuters also won News Provider of the Year for introducing a Middle East service and expanding coverage for Swiss investors.
Reuters Data Feed Direct was voted Product Development of the Year, while CEO Tom Glocer won Executive of the Year (Vendor), and Reuters' deal with UBS for the Reuters Wireless Delivery System took Contract Win of the Year.
Reuters shared its last award, for Research Provider of the Year, with Nasdaq. The two launched an effort to increase independent analyst coverage of US stocks (IMD, June 13, 2005).
Despite Reuters' success, Bloomberg was voted Data Provider of the Year (Data Vendor) for the fourth year running. Bloomberg also won for its "With Room Service 20:10" advertisement, which ran in October.
Credit data provider Markit also won two awards, taking Reference Data Provider of the Year and Company to Watch.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange won in two categories as well: Executive of the Year (Exchange) for Matt Simpson, associate director of electronic trading systems architecture, and Project of the Year for its FAST project.
However, Nasdaq won for Data Provider of the Year (Exchange) due to its introduction of two feeds for algorithmic trading operations and the co-development of the independent research service with Reuters.
Acquisition of the Year went to BT for its purchase of Radianz.
On the customer side, Colin Jowers of Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein won Executive of the Year (User Firm).
There was one tie this year: Chris Collett of Goldman Sachs and Paul Sullivan of Merrill Lynch share the Analyst of the Year award.
This year, IMD introduced a new award: the editor's award. It went to the London Stock Exchange for its work in both the reference data and market data industries.
