Our take
FactSet is an S&P 500 company creating flexible, open data solutions for investment professionals around the globe. The company was founded at the end of the 1970s, when the prominence of computers spurred the founders to find a way to deliver computer-based financial information. In doing so, FactSet revolutionized the delivery of this data to clients, which had previously been by messenger and on paper.
Investors use FactSet to access instant financial data and analytics that educate their investment decisions. In 2022, FactSet for CRM launched on the Salesforce AppExchange; reaching users looking to get a complete, reliable view of current and prospective customers. As it has grown, the company has continuously responded to changes in the market, and innovated its operations.
As part of the company’s efforts to help clients modernize and improve their market data technology, FactSet partnered with data and analytics company BMLL to offer order book history and analytics in the cloud. The company has also made steps into the cryptocurrency space by collaborating with Coin Metrics, integrating Coin Metrics’ digital assets data into its solutions, whilst embarking on a series of strategic fintech acquisitions over 2023 and 24.
