Case Study

Banks apply governance and controls on outbound data

Overview

Increasingly, banks struggle to manage the costs of inbound data while providing data into the marketplace themselves. This applies particularly when banks do not apply restrictions on data usage. As a result, data provided to support activity such as trading and execution is used by other firms to create commercial data products – resulting in data being sold back to the Bank as a cost of business.

EOSE can work with the bank to create and apply commercial product and controls around outbound data. By licensing the data leaving the bank, the firm understood where their information is used. Subsequently, clients or third party delivery firms understand that the data provided is part of the transaction and is not a free of charge data solution.

Challenges

  • Data externalised by many desks, via multiple technical delivery systems and across different parts of their business
  • The data has to be provided to perform their business functions and they are reluctant to interrupt the process
  • No-one at a senior management level ‘owns’ the data or is responsible for the onward use of information or data assets
  • Data flowing through the bank may not be entirely owned or generated by the desks/business unit
  • There is a perception that commercialising their data requires setting up full process and an in-house team

The Solutions

Benefits

By controllling their data, the bank gains insight into where and how it is used. Subsequently, they apply charges for use outside of the bank’s intended distribution or usage.

By working with EOSE, the bank can ensure that staff and resources are focused on core business and maintain relationships while EOSE propose and execute the strategy to apply governance on data. 

This process can be executed in a staged approach to ensure minimum up front costs and disruption and expanded as the bank and clients become more familiar with the data licensing process.
