As technology rapidly evolves, the way exchanges deliver data to clients has evolved as well. Snail Mail to Click-Through Data In just a few short years, CME Group’s Data Services business has undergone a transformation. In 2016, we were shipping physical hard drives off manual extracts from our data warehouse. Now, customers order online, agree to a click-through license, enter their credit card, and select from several delivery methods (none of which...
