FactSet announced that its market‑intelligence data is now available through Amazon Quick Research, a new service that links FactSet’s subscription platform directly to AWS cloud infrastructure. The integration eliminates the need for manual data uploads, streamlining research workflows for clients who rely on AI‑driven investment strategies.
The move positions FactSet as a cloud‑ready analytics provider and expands its product portfolio into the rapidly growing cloud‑native analytics space. It builds on the company’s prior AWS collaboration, including the migration of its real‑time ticker plant to AWS in 2020 and the availability of its data feeds via AWS Data Exchange.
Chief Data Officer John Costigan said FactSet was a first mover on AI and that the legacy of innovation continues with its support of Amazon Quick Research. He emphasized the need to meet clients “right where they are” by integrating with platforms like AWS, underscoring the strategic importance of the partnership.
The integration is expected to increase client stickiness by reducing friction for AI leaders who rely on cloud‑based data pipelines. Analysts noted that the partnership signals FactSet’s commitment to expanding its AI capabilities, though investors remain cautious about the company’s guidance for fiscal 2026, which was lowered amid concerns about longer sales cycles and pricing pressures.
Market reaction to the announcement was muted, with investors focusing on the broader AI strategy and guidance rather than the immediate financial impact of the integration.
