Introduction
With
the ever-increasing challenge for market data managers to reduce market
data spending and control on-going costs, it has become ever more
critical to maintain accurate market data product information and
associated data inventory. By reviewing inventory management precedures
and practices and checking for compliance with Exchanges / Market
Data Vendors, we can ensure an organization is prepared for exchange
audits.
Without accurate inventories, reconciliation of vendor billing, usage analysis and financial reporting is impossible.
