Gresham renames S&P Global EDM platform as Opus EDM
Gresham has renamed the enterprise data management platform it acquired from S&P Global Market Intelligence as Opus EDM. The platform is used by more than 150 financial institutions.
Opus EDM now sits alongside Gresham's existing Prime EDM in its enterprise data management portfolio. Both products will continue on their current roadmaps, with the same teams, customer relationships and delivery model.
Over more than a decade, the platform has operated under several names, including Cadis, Markit EDM, IHS Markit EDM and S&P Global EDM. The latest rebrand follows its move into Gresham's portfolio after the acquisition from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
According to Gresham, the platform supports more than $12 trillion in assets under management. Financial institutions use it to manage market, reference, private markets and ESG data, including in regulated areas of global capital markets.
By placing Opus EDM alongside Prime EDM, Gresham aims to serve buy-side and sell-side clients through a single supplier relationship. The structure gives the company two established products in a market where banks, asset managers and other financial firms are under pressure to strengthen data controls and operational processes.
Gresham also said it plans to incorporate AI into both platforms in 2026. It did not disclose further technical details, but linked the next phase of Opus EDM's development to broader product investment and managed services.
Mark Hepsworth, chief executive officer of Gresham, described the platform as central to the group's direction in financial services data operations.
"Opus EDM is an established market leader in enterprise data management. As part of Gresham it will be central to our focus on enterprise data automation in mission critical financial services ecosystems. The new name marks its next chapter as part of Gresham, where we will focus on product innovation, AI enablement and continuing to expand the range of managed services around the platform that clients can choose to use to reduce TCO," Hepsworth said.
For existing customers, the immediate change is branding rather than product structure. Opus EDM and Prime EDM will remain separate products, indicating that Gresham intends to address different client requirements and use cases rather than combine them into a single platform in the near term.
That approach may help preserve continuity for institutions already using the former S&P Global platform, particularly those managing large and complex data estates. Enterprise data management systems are deeply embedded in front-to-back operations, and changes to product support or delivery models can carry operational and compliance implications in regulated markets.
Devendra Bhudia, chief product officer, EDM, at Gresham, said the new owner's backing would shape the next stage of development.
"Our clients chose this platform because it works at scale, in regulated environments, across complex data types. That does not change. What changes is the level of resource and ambition behind it. Being part of Gresham gives us the platform to accelerate development in ways that were not possible before," Bhudia said.
