Our partnership will also open up new possibilities for customers to discover and request access to attend upcoming events from directly within the Markit Interactions platform.”
This new interactive functionality will allow customers to evaluate and record historical meetings with research providers, and present a new channel to discover information on upcoming events.
IHS Markit and ONEaccess’ offering will empower the buy side and sell side to validate and reconcile the services offered and received, creating a more transparent and effective market place. The new product offering is planned to be launched to customers in the second quarter of 2017.
