Technically this technology has been around for sometime. SAP, Oracle, MS, JD Edward etc have this kind of data display configuration as well. Even some industrial SCADA systems can perform similar functionalities. Data mining and data warehousing are the buzz words in both financial and non financial industries.
The method of retrieving these data, interpret the data and display into a meaning format is similar. The said companies use their own propriety engine to protect their software license. The display formats are custom made for different levels of operators and mostly store in a server. Users are able to access the appropriate info/display accordingly.
Putting another layer of 3rd party display (LVT) does not make any financial sense unless it is very cheap and unique. LVT would require to purchase API interface from the said companies in order to extract the data onto the display. The API interface is expensive and a lot of works behind the scene afterwards. The operating cost becomes expensive. The major income is not the software but the yearly User License Agreement.
The drop of SP may be imminent because LVT faces intense competition from the said companies. These said companies are really really big in both financial and technical background.
This is my limited knowledge of this industry.
