The service offers us innovative ways to collaborate, distribute data and deploy technology apps, such as advanced charting," said Brad Levy, Markit's head of processing and loans and CEO of MarkitSERV, in a statement. "We also plan to weave Symphony into our platforms and products to enable real-time collaboration among our customers.
