Poll Results: Low Latency ‘Essential’ as Competitive Tool
Low latency delivery of market data remains a strategic capability in the highly competitive post-Crunch trading environment. High-speed data access has shifted fully into the mainstream of market data managers’ activities, it seems, with 72% of respondents to the latest Market Data Insight readers’ poll believing it to be ‘essential’ if their organizations are to compete effectively in 2009.
While 22% of respondents continued to see low latency data as merely ‘nice to have,’ just 6% saw it as unimportant. The results appear to underscore the industry perception that those left standing will require high-speed data if they are to continue in the business of trading.
