Need AT Data Sources REACH, Inc / The Slemons Company will build an

automated process that automatically syncs data with gTrade.

All other Exchanges may have their data entered into NEED AT in one of two ways: Exchanges may place a text file on their server that we can access

on a nightly basis Exchanges may load a text file containing the contents of their

database to our server. For each Exchange, we’ll build an automated process that

acquires their updates nightly (or on an agreed-upon frequency) automatically loads it to the NEED AT database.

This will be done using SQL Server’s Integration Services utility which vastly decreases the amount of time needed to build interfaces between systems as compared with complexities of writing specific data mappings for each exchange (as would have been necessary in the not-so-distant past.)
