The platform aims to integrate and standardize the SSE's business database to allow users to access and analyze cross-asset financial data ranging form trading transactions, listed companies and member companies information, surveillance data and historical trading data. The open architecture also utilizes technologies such as Online Analytical Processing and Extract-Transform-Load.
