    MarketReader Launches Its Real-Time Market Analysis Platform and AI Newsletter in Eight Months Using Nasdaq® and AWS

    MarketReader is an artificial intelligence (AI) analytics platform providing the financial sector with data-driven explanations of real-time asset movement. During development, MarketReader experienced delays in data delivery and received incomplete datasets from its initial data provider—which reduced the quality of the platform’s insights. To launch its differentiated product, the MarketReader team moved to cloud-based data solutions from AWS Partner Nasdaq, hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), to obtain direct access to high-quality, real-time market data for all US-listed securities. This approach elevated MarketReader’s US market coverage, increased data delivery time by 98 percent, and helped the platform go live within eight months. MarketReader now delivers timely, accurate insights. It publishes a daily newsletter in only seven minutes, driving customer engagement and expanding the newsletter’s reach up to 400 percent beyond MarketReader’s current client base.
