Consumers' Outlook: Some 2018 retrospective - and lots of 2019 ideas

Let us both navel gaze and cast our eyes over the horizon – user firms discuss what was targeted and achieved in 2018 and evangelize the most important challenges and trends for 2019.  While the conversation will inevitably touch on cost saving and regulatory compliance, the focus will be on the ways that market data groups are adding and capturing value : How can those working in a market data role strive to be more innovative and entrepreneurial? How do people working in such roles impress, even dazzle, ‘The Business’ with their ideas? How can data owners, vendors and service & technology providers help them to do this? A rallying cry for our industry – onwards and most assuredly upwards!

Mapping the New Data World

Growing data intensity in business processes and new enabling technologies challenge traditional data management set-ups.  Users require unencumbered access and faster (and cheaper) change cycles to meet their requirements that have often outgrown existing data infrastructures.  In this session we'll discuss our views on the changing and future world of sourcing, integrating and exploring financial data.
