LONDON, UK - Glide Publishing Platform is delighted to announce that leading Japanese financial information service DealWatch has launched on Glide Publishing Platform.

A subscription-only Japanese-language screen news service, DealWatch reports on Japanese companies, local governments, non-Japanese loan issuers, and capital market information in real time for underwriters, other professionals, and to other terminal services.

DealWatch joins sister publications International Financing Review (“IFR”) and Project Finance International (“PFI”), marking the third of four sites for UK-based LSEG utilising Glide CMS to manage their content operations, Glide Deliver for website management and delivery, and the Glide Nexa audience interaction platform for subscription management and user personalisation.   

Together, the brands supply vital business data and insight to investment banking and capital markets participants around the world. 

“We are delighted that our leading global loans and private credit newsroom, LPC, and our Japanese news service, Dealwatch, can now author their insights alongside the debt and equity capital markets editorial team at IFR in Glide. This powerhouse offering, technically supported by the Glide team, equips clients with the actionable insights across all asset classes improving the quality of their advice and deals,” said Mahmoud Khliefat, Head of Capital Markets Data & Analytics at LSEG.

Delivered by Glide’s Professional Services, the project included the migration of more than 300k complex articles along with associated images and videos, as well as the redesign of DealWatch.jp, following the structure of its sister publications. The new site now provides content in Japanese with Japanese-language search capabilities and allows the Japan-based editorial team to work in Japanese within the Glide CMS interface.

The launch of DealWatch expands Glide’s presence into Japan, supporting customers across the globe from South America to Asia Pacific.

“DealWatch is a trusted source of data and insight for one of the most critical parts of the Japanese economy, and stands alone in Japanese markets for its high reputation and quality. We are extremely proud to have delivered this complex data and editorial projects, across multiple languages and meeting highly diverse editorial requirements, and for the vote of trust placed in us by the teams at LSEG,” said Denis Haman, CEO Glide Publishing Platform. 

“Once again I thank the Professional Services team at Glide for their work to migrate extremely complex legacy content, and working so closely with customer teams around the world.”
