Proven partner to the exchange industry

NASDAQ OMX is both an exchange owner/operator and technology provider to more than 70 marketplaces worldwide. Based on this experience, we have gained a unique first-hand understanding of how marketplaces operate, the challenges they face and the complex technology infrastructures that are required to support them.

Our offerings include trading, clearing and market data solutions that can be delivered as one integrated package or as a stand-alone "best of breed" solution.  A typical engagement might start with Advisory Services, where our expert consultants provide strategic and operational guidance to marketplaces and related development organizations around the world.

Our clients include exchanges, clearinghouses, alternative trading facilities and other marketplaces in both emerging and mature markets. We work with established marketplaces as well as start-ups in markets both large and small.

With innovative technology as the core, we extend our offerings with various levels of technology and business services. Our relationships run from delivering "best of breed" technology services to strategic partnerships with goals such as increasing liquidity in a market, establishing cross-border trading links, identifying business growth opportunities, improving issuer services and establishing data distribution partnerships.
