NSPs act as carriers of LSEG Information and Trading services to our end clients. Our end clients contract with the NSP for provision of network connectivity and sign agreements with LSEG for access to our Trading and Information services.
Clients using an NSP connection will have individual service enablements set up on our trading and information systems. The data and trading feeds are in exactly the same format as those received by a direct customer and are subject to the same testing requirements.
End clients employing NSP connectivity will either deploy an accredited Independent Software Vendor (ISV) solution or develop bespoke interfaces to our feeds.
Benefits of an NSP connection:
- Cost effective delivery via your existing network provider
- No intervention, pure Infolect data and direct trading interfaces
- Price execution assurance
- Quick set up
- Consolidated infrastructure
- Scalability – ability to add new services quickly
NSP Accreditation Review
The exchange seeks to ensure that existing network and operational resilience & security levels are always maintained when providing access to the Exchange’s systems via an NSP network. In order to achieve this, it’s become imperative for NSPs to:
- Complete a failover test once a year between their Primary & Secondary site and send results to nsp@lseg.com
- Confirm once a year that they still comply with accreditation requirements to maintain their approved status by completing and returning the questionnaire below to nsp@lseg.com
