A large hedge fund uses market indices to calculate portfolio risk in real-time.  Market indices do not update outside of exchange hours and the fund required risk assessment 24x7.  Using omniBridge, a synthetic index driven by the market index and front month futures contract is created to allow the fund to manage portfolio risk 24x7

A $30B+ hedge fund requires Options Greek Calculations in near real-time.  Calculating Greeks for 50K+ options takes time.  Using the Last Value Cache (LVC), the options prices are always in the Greek Calculator, freeing the Calculator to perform the CPU-intensive Greeks at any time, as long as it takes.

Portfolio Managers require best price from all aggregated data sources.  Using omniBridge, a large buy-side firm can see the best rates for any FX forward rate from all participating banks in real-time, allowing them to get the best price in the market.

A new exchange desires to make their market data available to customers via the Refinitiv Elektron Global Network.  Using omniBridge, the exchange market data is bridged into Refinitiv using the RCC Contribution Channel, allowing customers to see the exchange data globally.

A bank doing an Investment Banking deal with XYZ, is prevented from trading the stock and its options.  Using omniBridge, an indicator is put into the data stream and flashed at regular intervals to alert traders to the restriction.
