Research Content Distribution – Managed Feeds to Aggregators and Buy-Sides (Connect2)

Connect2 is the Connect distribution platform that provides the “Pipes” for the Financial Services Research community to distribute content and provide back readership on a single platform

The free Distribution service provides a single point of entry for Research Content Providers, from Independent one-man shops to major Sell-Side providers, to feed their content onto 21+ Research Aggregators (Refinativ, Bloomberg, FactSet, S&P, Research Exchange. ResearchPool, Nucleus195, ERIC, …..) and also direct to large Buy-Side platforms, using their preferred sending method. Connect2 then “connects to” (get it) the aggregators of choice, converts to their format, and sends the Content from the Provider to the Aggregator, and tracks its success. Contact us for more information. Also, see HERE the current list. 

Research Providers can deliver to Connect2 in any combination of direct Portal, email.send, SFTP, and Connect2 extract direct from an RMS, which then sends to only the distribution channels that the Provider wants to send to. As an optional chargeable service Connect2 can provide consolidated readership to the Provider across all their distribution platforms.

Suitable for  Sell-Side, Independent Research Provider, Political Risk Advisories, News Agency, Industry Analysis Firm to get their content from a single point of entry to their selected platforms.

Connect2 is also a single point of Onboarding for contribution to Aggregation Platforms and Buy-Side Platforms so that the platforms do not need to run the overhead of onboarding and client mapping themselves, and can focus on utilising the research for their buy-side clients. By providing a single point of contact for the Aggregator or Buy-Side, Connect2 will onboard the Provider, map the content, send the files, and proactively monitor the service spotting and preventing errors and outages, and reducing overheads for the Aggregator./ Buy-Side.
