In today's market, the biggest challenge for many market data teams is one of time management in a time of great change. New regulations are coming in. Rules around how data is being used are changing, coupled with new fees for usage, increased scrutiny from the providers themselves, and everyone looking to protect their IP. On top of this, teams are getting smaller placing the responsibility for managing this increased data risk on the shoulders of fewer team members, or even just one or two managers as the bulk of the day-to-day work is off-shored / near-shored to more economical resources with less market data expertise and experience.
