LSEG requires a new contract for each data provider or broker. Sparta simplifies this by aggregating and cleaning high-quality data from top brokerages and data houses, all under a single contract. This unified solution ensures a single source of truth for your organisation, eliminating the complexity of managing multiple third-party agreements.

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