Norkon enters into partnership with Morningstar

As a key step in Norkon’s continued growth and scaling up of our services, we are excited to announce that we have entered into a partnership with Morningstar; a leading financial research, software, and market data firm. The partnership allows Norkon to leverage Morningstar’s data products for use in Norkon’s Pulse solution, significantly increasing the solution’s capabilities and benefits to Pulse’s customers.

Market-leading data services for customers

By partnering with Morningstar, Norkon will be able to offer customers an unprecedented range of financial data through our solutions;  ranging from real-time streaming price data, profile and reference data, and ratings across multiple asset classes including equities, currencies, indices, funds, ETPs, etc.

Customers will benefit from shorter implementations of Norkon’s solutions, more flexibility in the selection of market data both during implementation and once a solution is live, and lower implementation costs.

Additionally, improved robustness and faster turnaround on inquiries and support will ensure that Pulse can become an even more central part of customers’ digital products and market data landscape.

Increased technical capabilities and boost to sales for Norkon

The partnership will also significantly strengthen Norkon’s technical and sales capabilities. Moving to a single market data provider will allow us to maintain more predictable and robust integrations and a single-point-of-contact for technical maintenance and support.

Norkon’s sales will benefit from a transparent catalog of data products and cost overview which will help Norkon and customers more efficiently discuss market data needs, cost, and timelines. Additional support from Morningstar’s pre-sales organization will aid market data discussions with customers so that they can be carried out faster and with easier estimation of data packages and costs.
