Risk Management Data

One of the ways that DTS can help your organization save money is by implementing our Horizon database as part of your risk management system.

Many financial companies have a range of historical data sources that feed their data silos used for risk management. These data silos traditionally cover a wide range of market price data and fundamental data. At DTS we believe that we have a comprehensive array of end-of-day market price data that will be an asset to any risk management system. One of the outstanding features of our Horizon database is our devotion to maintaining the highest quality data of any data supplier in the financial sector. We would encourage you to read some of the comments from our regular users.

We can provide our data in a range of different methods for use in your risk management systems. Traditionally our clients have accessed the Horizon database using either:

1> Open Horizon, or
2> Horizon COM.

We now offer Web Services by which you can access our data over the Internet.

The fundamental difference between Open Horizon/Horizon COM and Web Services is the way the data is supplied. Open Horizon and Horizon COM databases and software are installed on your own servers/terminals and are updated via the internet on a frequency that you choose. Some of our users download once a day and some users will download every few hours depending on their needs. The cost of accessing the Horizon data with either of these products is charged in blocks of the data currencies that you subscribe to. You don’t pay any additional cost for the frequency of the downloads.

We would also suggest that you consider our value guarantee when looking at comparing our data with other sources.
