Challenge

INTL FCStone’s costs to maintain their legacy system were large, and they had difficulty adding the features their customers demanded to their system. In addition to speeding up the development cycle, INTL FCStone wanted to reduce spend and free up internal resources to spend more time on content and client relationships. They knew it would be a challenge to find not only a vendor that could help boost efficiency - but also one that they could trust.

Enter Barchart

The INTL FCStone team set out to find a solutions provider that could reliably power their mission-critical software products, and free up the team's sales force and market analysts to spend more time on their customers. They found that Barchart could step in and act as the trusted partner they were looking for.

Barchart provided INTL FCStone with a suite of software and data services incorporating custom CommodityNetwork features and information to deliver a solution that keeps the INTL FCStone brand in front of clients.

"Barchart is proud to support INTL FCStone with our full suite of multi-asset data, digital, and content solutions," said Mark Haraburda, CEO of Barchart. "We are extremely pleased to extend our relationship with INTL FCStone and delivering them a client-oriented solution that integrates the valuable CommodityNetwork news and market tools," added Haraburda.

The partnership with Barchart allows CommodityNetwork customers analyze their respective markets through streaming quotes, interactive charting, and option pricing - in addition to breaking news and analysis from the FCStone team.

"We are thrilled to partner with Barchart," said Eileen S. Stein, Senior Vice President - Market Intelligence.
