Real-Time Data Visualization Comes to Life With Fractal:Intelligence 2.2 - Product Selected to Front-End Launch of NASDAQ Market Analytix Service

London, UK (PRWEB) November 28, 2006

Fractal:Edge, recent winner of the Waters Magazine Award for Best Visualization Provider, announced the release of the latest version of Fractal:Intelligence RealTime Edition which can display intra-second, streaming data from Bloomberg™ and other live data feeds allowing users to quickly analyze fast-changing information and make key decisions in real-time.

With users in diverse areas including algorithmic trading, portfolio management, basket trading and risk management, the product demonstrates the significant appetite in the securities industry for improved human oversight of automated and semi-automated tasks. By allowing users to analyze and interact with fast-moving performance data in real-time they can take action when it counts, instead of just analyzing the cause of a problem after the event. Seven of the top ten global investment banks use Fractal:Edge visualization.

Among potential users of Fractal:Intelligence 2.2 RealTime Edition are subscribers to NASDAQ's new Market Analytix (MAX) service. Fractal Maps of this data were showcased at a recent MAX launch event. Randall Hopkins, VP of Market Data Distribution at NASDAQ commented: "Quite simply, Fractal Maps, in conjunction with NASDAQ MAX gives new visibility to the huge volume of trade data that's available to them. We could immediately see the fit with MAX and other premium products such as Nasdaq TotalView."

The powerful Fractal:Intelligence 2.2 RealTime Edition includes all the functionality of Fractal:Edge's Enterprise Edition with direct connection to multiple underlying data sources and the ability for users to configure their own analytic settings. In addition it comes complete with Bloomberg BBComm data connectivity to enable Bloomberg subscribers immediate access to real-time data. Real-time connectivity can be configured for a wide range of other industry-standard and proprietary message-based and publish/subscribe feeds.

"Fractal:Intelligence RealTime leverages existing information to deliver greater insight enabling powerful new business solutions throughout trading and other fast-moving environments," said Gervase Clifton-Bligh, Fractal:Edge's VP of Product Strategy & Development.
