Price based on value, not per-seat

Sparta’s value-based enterprise pricing model enables you to save up to 50% on your Bloomberg license fees. The days of per-seat pricing and rigid pricing models that punish growth are gone. Instead, we offer enterprise solutions that provide the same powerful tools at a fraction of the cost.

2

High-quality data for the whole organisation, under one contract

Bloomberg requires you to sign a new contract to access data from each new provider or broker. Sparta sources and cleans high-quality data from industry-leading brokerages and data houses, all under one contract, providing a unified solution with one source of truth for your entire organisation and no need for multiple third-party contracts.

Look forward, not backward

Sparta is the only market intelligence platform that provides a current and forward-looking view of both the financial and physical oil markets.

Bloomberg has been an essential tool for traders, but how well does it meet the evolving demands of today’s trading environment?
