FIS Global first to provide innovative financial news service on all MarketMap terminals
Zurich/London, 2nd April 2025: Four partners have launched a bold new global business news service. The ground-breaking new product seamlessly combines the insights and analysis of a worldwide team of journalists with the speed and breadth afforded by artificial intelligence.
AWP Alliance News Global service is the result of a collaboration among newswires AWP Finanznachrichten AG, Alliance News Ltd, dpa-AFX Wirtschaftsnachrichten GmbH, and tech company Public Technologies Inc.
Combining their editorial resources and proprietary AI technology has resulted in a real-time newswire in English for financial professionals with several thousand news items per day, operating around the world and around the clock.
Users of MarketMap Terminal and Mobile from global financial technology leader FIS are the first to benefit. AWP Alliance News Global service is part of the standard MarketMap package since February 2025. The new content is accessible in the regular terminal news windows and through a new, modern user interface using MarketMap’s proprietary web displays.
Making use of generative AI, the news offering provides broadest coverage of listed companies around the world, up to 30,000 companies in total. AI-powered brief summaries are extracted in near real-time directly from the original sources of company announcements, with a link back to the full release wherever possible.
This is combined with value-added editorial coverage of 2,000 of the world’s most followed stocks. Specialist financial journalists contribute market reports for all relevant asset classes from around the world.
Editors craft the new multimedia AWP Alliance News Global Top News feed. This platform-agnostic combination of pictures and text allows the creation of attractive and interactive news displays that are fully integrated with a distributor’s own charts, data and trading tools.
An AI-enhanced proprietary tool called Speedflash gets market-sensitive news from global blue chips to trading desks in an instant. Automated checks ensure these headlines are accurate and fully actionable. Similarly, macro-economic indicators are delivered straight from the lock-up, tracking more than 30 countries. Central bank decisions are covered live.
The four main partners in the new financial news service are backed by some of the world’s most trusted general news providers such as German news agency dpa (Deutsche Presse-Agentur), PA Media Group, the parent company of the Press Association, the national news agency for the UK and Ireland, and Keystone-SDA, the national news agency for Switzerland.
Altogether, AWP Alliance News Global draws upon more than 1,000 journalists worldwide, including more than 130 English-language journalists focused on economics and finance.
Christoph Gaberthüel, CEO of AWP, said:
“All partners stand for quality, passion, and innovation. Users get a truly global financial news service that combines trustworthy journalism with innovative technologies.”
Tom Waite, founder of Alliance News and editor-in-chief of the new service, said:
“As editor, I make sure we use AI wisely. Accuracy always comes first. AWP Alliance News Global gives readers an investing advantage. Anything the markets can throw at you, we are on it.”
Martin Kalverkamp, CEO of dpa-AFX, said:
“The new wire is a platform-independent news alternative that our clients have been waiting for. Our partnership opens new opportunities to expand into new markets.“
Giacomo Cambiaso, co-founder & CEO of Public Technologies, said:
“With over 15 years spent organizing financial disclosures, we are uniquely positioned to assist AWP and Alliance News in achieving their vision. It is a true honor to contribute to such a paradigm shift combining the best of journalism with the best of technology.”
