Method and System for Aggregating and Managing Data from Disparate Sources in Consolidated Storage

An information processing system comprising:

• one or more data processors in communication with a cloud computing and storage platform via a communications network, data storage coupled to the one or more processors,
• wherein the one or more data processors are configured to:
• receive from multiple data sources private financial data related to financial articles of trade that are tradable on one or more financial markets, where private financial data is exclusively accessible by only a set of entitled entities associated with the private financial data or transactions involving the private financial data, and where the received private financial data from the multiple data sources includes multiple different data formats;
• normalize the private financial data in multiple different data formats received from the multiple data sources into a normalized data format;
• store the normalized private financial data in the cloud computing and storage platform;
• process or direct the cloud computing and storage platform to process the normalized private financial data with public financial data to provide enhanced private financial data and thereafter store the enhanced private financial data in the cloud computing and storage platform;
• and
• direct the cloud computing and storage platform to distribute selected portions of the enhanced private financial data to entitled entities with legitimate rights to the selected portions of the enhanced private financial data.
