by BNP Paribas group. Fortis Investments, offers a full range of investment management services to institutional
and retail clients around the world. Roughly 500 investment professionals work across a network of some 40
investment centres, each of which is fully accountable for the research and management of a single asset/ product
class. As of December 31 2009, Fortis Investments had EUR 160 billion assets under management.
Fortis Investments, which had just integrated its business with that of ABN AMRO Asset Management, was in need
of an experienced market data manager who could bear responsibility for a EUR 20 mln. data budget. TCAM
provided the interim candidate who managed to co-ordinate the daily business of the market data desk in parallel
with a savings program. The successful program managed to realize savings worth 10% within 2 months.
“TCAM provided an interim manager to manage the Data Vendor Management team. He has shown a high degree
of flexibility, demonstrated a great talent as a team leader and was able to get a firm grip on things. But above all,
his knowledge of the business and his capability to handle issues/solve problems have been of great value. I would
recommend hiring TCAM without hesitation.” – Mr. Etienne Beckers, Business Director

7. Cases
Delta is a Dutch energy provider and one of the biggest employers in the Southwest of the
Netherlands. Despite a takeover wave in the Dutch energy industry, Delta still proudly operates as an
independent enterprise. Its trading unit trades energy commodities including Gas, Coal, Oil and

For its trading business, Delta uses a mixture of various static market data feeds. TCAM provided
advice on streamlining and re-shaping the static market data management infrastructure, i.e. a
feasibility study including re-design of its processes with respect to the collection, validation, storage
and internal distribution of static data.
“TCAM has a very good knowledge of the market data industry. With TCAM’s services we succeeded
in reducing the yearly market data costs significantly.” – Mr. Jan Willem Zwang, Manager Trade a.i.
