About Avtar Birdi

All Financial Institutions require data, whether that’s Real-Time / Delayed Pricing or Static / Reference data. In recent years the need for data has increased substantially, whether that's because of business changes, new tighter compliance regulations, or simply satisfying website data demands. As data's not cheap, with increased consumption comes higher prices. To save money and clean up data needs, institutions should be looking to wrap their data requirements around what they currently require. With over 20 years Market Data and Reference data experience, we provide the expertise and know-how to help reduce data costs and consumption by offering the following services: Front Office Market Data Audit: Whether its Reuters or Bloomberg, users consume a lot of expensive Market Data. Working with business heads we can carry out a desk-by-desk review of data and cost. Static / Reference Data review: Websites and back / front office applications consume Static / Reference data under All-You-Can-Eat data licenses. Working with support teams we carry out detailed analysis on the data files to reduce consumption and renegotiate data licenses Data Compliancy: Exchange/Broker/Ratings data used within applications needs to be declared correctly. We work with the relevant internal support teams to ensure data is consumed, managed, declared and used correctly.
