Keeping vendor data costs and usage under control

All capital market participants depend on reference and market data to fuel their investment operations. When the vendors supplying this data apply changes to their licensing agreements, the impact of these changes can be significant.  From increasing costs, compliance risks, or even the risk that the data tap gets turned off – the potential impact of doing nothing can be very real.

To ensure compliance with licensing permissions and to optimize market data spend, firms must have a centralized view of their vendor data consumption and usage across all business units.
