EcoWin was acquired by global news and financial information company Reuters on November 11 2005, a significant step to build the value of Reuters products and services by adding high-value content and applications to them.
EcoWin’s data and software complement the company & financial data and news that are Reuters traditional strengths. This acquisition will enable a great deal of focus and investment in EcoWin’s products and services. Selected, relevant data from EcoWin’s databases will be added to Reuters core products -- Reuters 3000 Xtra, Reuters Station and Reuters Knowledge -- throughout 2006.
In addition, Reuters will be focusing development on Reuters EcoWin Pro to build more power and functionality into the application. EcoWin customers will move to a direct relationship with Reuters in 2006 as EcoWin is fully integrated with Reuters Research and Asset Management division.
