Talking Reference Data with Andrew Delaney: Time to Mark to Markit?
We may have been waiting, watching for some time, and that time has now come: Markit has registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering. No date, no share price. But still a momentous occasion for our marketplace, and a significant milestone for a company that opened its doors in…
Talking Reference Data with Andrew Delaney: Putting it All Together
After several months of shoe-leather and elbow grease, the agenda for our March 6 Data Management Summit at London’s America Square conference centre is snapping into place.

Virginie’s Blog – Never a Dull Moment
Summer used to be a quiet month or two for news. Not so this year (or even the last few years perhaps).
