London, U.K., June 29, 2011 - OneMarketData, a leader in tick data management and analytics, today announced that Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) has selected OneMarketData's OneTick, the single solution for tick data management, analytics and complex event processing (CEP), to support the school's research into world-wide and asset-wide market liquidity.
RSM researchers will use OneTick to calculate statistics for three upcoming research papers. Specifically, the system will be used to:
"Global tick data volumes are growing exponentially year-over-year, which is exciting from an academic perspective as it gives us the data we need for research support and testing," remarked Dominik Rösch, PhD candidate at RSM and co-researcher of the RSM liquidity research team. "Analyzing what amounts to petabytes of data requires huge setup costs, and one of our biggest challenges is finding a cost-effective way to manage the required flexibility, disk space and CPU power. OneTick has enabled us to meet this challenge with the same cutting-edge technology employed by the most advanced financial institutions in business today."
By using OneTick, RSM researchers will benefit from the system's intuitive programming approach and fast, flexible, easy-to-use architecture that keeps storage requirements low. OneTick also offers built-in functionality that includes the Lee and Ready algorithm for signing trades, and ready-to-use data filters to handle outliers. The advanced platform integrates seamlessly with other programs, easily imports data from various sources, and includes a built-in profiler to detect bottlenecks in running queries.
"From Markowitz's Modern Portfolio Theory to the Black-Scholes Model, academia has always played a hugely important role in the world of quantitative finance," said Richard Chmiel, vice president at OneMarketData. "In order for our industry to continue to move forward, it is vital for those companies and institutions that use the work of academics to also support their research wherever they can. We believe that by assisting researchers at RSM, OneTick is helping to push the boundaries of what is possible in finance."
