The Albany Gazette - LSEG Launches Model-as-a-Service

LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / February 19, 2026 / LSEG today launched Model-as-a-Service (MaaS), a new capability that enables financial institutions to host, distribute and analyse models through a secure and governed marketplace. Societe Generale has joined LSEG's model marketplace as a provider of advanced analytical models, making a set of its flagship datasets and analytics available to both firms' clients.

As part of the partnership, seven Societe Generale datasets and analytics will be available via LSEG's model marketplace, covering Fixed Income, FX, ESG, and Equities. Clients will be able to access Societe Generale's flagship datasets and analytics alongside LSEG's own analytics, all through a single, integrated experience.

For institutions, MaaS offers a secure, scalable route to commercialization; turning proprietary analytics into scalable and value-driven solutions, whilst reducing infrastructure, compliance, and go-to-market overhead. Powered by Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors, MaaS also delivers models directly into LSEG's partners' AI ecosystems, such as the availability of LSEG's MCP connector in Microsoft Copilot Studio.
