The Vitol Data Acquisition and Provision Platform

Timely access to market and associated data is imperative to facilitate the optimization of Vitol’s trading activities. As the breadth and volume of available data continues to grow, the Data Acquisition and Provision Platform provides a forward-looking infrastructure through which the data can be acquired, organised and distributed as the business requires.

Data Reply has worked with Vitol to design a global Data Acquisition and Provision Platform for pricing and fundamentals data that is fit for the demands of today and tomorrow. Anticipating the wide range of complex needs across research and trading desks, this design is integrated with Vitol’s existing technology IP, enabling the organisation to leverage cutting-edge frameworks, tools and architectures.

With scalability, flexibility and reliability at the core of the platform’s design, Vitol is again innovating with technology to derive competitive advantage.
