FactSet Marks a New Era in Enterprise Real-Time Market Data as It Acquires BCC Group International

NORWALK, Conn., Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FactSet, a leading global intelligence and AI solutions provider to the financial markets, today announced the acquisition of BCC Group International GmbH (bccg), a financial software development firm specializing in cloud-native and hybrid market data distribution platforms. The acquisition marks a milestone in the expansion of FactSet's Real-Time Solution Suite, strengthening its market data management capabilities. Combined with its premium Real-Time Consolidated Data Feeds, it helps firms meet the demands of a rapidly evolving capital markets landscape.

For decades, market data infrastructure operated on the same premise: build or buy a platform, plug in data feeds, and let it operate. Trading is now moving toward 24-hour operations, AI is rewriting rules for workflows, and regulators are raising the bar on cross-vendor governance. Today, firms are building expensive workarounds for systems never designed to be open, modular, or cloud-ready. The hidden costs are becoming impossible to ignore: innovation timelines stretch, talent is redirected to maintenance, and compliance burdens continue to grow.
