Reuters is the largest information services company on the planet. It sits on some of the most widely used data, but is that data’s time past?

We’ll find out with the company’s Devin Wenig. He has the task of sorting out how and where to add web-based data to the company’s panoply of information services. What is Reuters buying? What will it build? Why? The company also has some major product-related product launches up its sleeve, so maybe we can convince Wenig to reveal all.
