CASE STUDY: Madrid Stock Exchange
VuWall raises the stakes at the Madrid Stock Exchange with Advanced Video Wall Management Software
VuWall Enables the Digitisation of the Trading Floor at the Madrid Stock Exchange
Founded in 1831, Bolsas y Mercados Españoles (BME) owns and operates the stock exchanges of Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, and Valencia, operating from the Palacio de la Bolsa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Their aging displays were becoming difficult to maintain. They decided to modernise the display equipment in the main trading hall to broaden the range of financial information that was presented to traders, fund managers, and journalists working on the floor of the stock exchange, and to enhance the visual experience for visitors during corporate events and presentations.
Integrator Quote
“This is the digital transformation of a key aspect for the Madrid Stock Exchange, forming part of the core of the business. Surely, there isn’t a more emblematic screen in the entire country, so this was a challenge that carries a high responsibility.”
– Javier Bernárdez, Head of Major Accounts at Ricoh Spain
Solution
BME engaged Ricoh to refurbish the main hall of the Madrid Stock Exchange, replacing the analog display boards with custom LG LED screen for the main wall plus 30 smaller 55″ screens throughout the trading hall to broadcast key financial information. To manage the content displayed on the digital screens, Ricoh provided VuWall video wall controllers and video wall management software enabling a BME user working on their laptop on the trading floor to organise, arrange, and distribute graphics, charts, diagrams, videos, logos, and other visualisations across multiple screens.
RESULT
The move to five digital screens in the main trading hall enabled BME to present a much wider variety of financial information, keeping traders on the floor of the stock exchange fully up to speed with the market. The new system allows BME to present a dynamic mix of real-time information on the performance of the IBEX 35 as well as rich data on key market movers and other emerging trends. BME now enjoys greater control over the content on display. Rather than having to send requests to update information on screen and wait for a vendor to apply the changes, users can now change graphics and company logos with just a few clicks.
