Commentary
Organizations that deal in large amounts of market, time series and reference data, require that data be high quality, easy to aggregate and accessible across a diverse set of uses. They require established market, time series and reference database solutions that help them centralize data management while customizing the environment to their specific needs and enhancing productivity, data quality control and the population of downstream applications. As financial services institutions struggle to manage multiple data providers, the traditional approach to data management is simply no longer meeting the demands of the business. Large firms often inherit data management teams, databases and systems through acquisitions and other business opportunities and often continue to manage them as individual data silos. Medium to smaller firms need comprehensive solutions that will scale with their business requirements. Costs continue to mount and the quality of data suffers, while industry drivers force companies to closely examine the ways in which they manage their data. Organizations need tools to help them ensure data accuracy and scalability, meet compliance-based requirements and satisfy the diverse range of consumers of data within the firm.
