Bear Stearns is rolling out Thomson Financial's investment banking desktop product, Thomson One Banker, to more than 180 users in the US.
Thomson One Banker provides users with quick access to real time or delayed market data and news - including company fundamental data, earnings estimates and analyses, transaction data and research - from sources such as First Call, Worldscope, Investext and Thomson Securities Data Company.
David Glaser, co-head of investment banking, Bear Stearns, says: "Significant cost savings are realised by aggregating content and applications from many sources into one platform."
The system is a component of Thomson One, a flexible, open application framework that allows for the integration and distribution of Thomson, third party and proprietary products onto one platform.
