Case Study

Broker hires EOSE to set up Data Business toolkit

Overview

Brokers have valuable data already being provided to trading clients through a variety of distribution channels as well as direct from the desk. 

Once a broker decides to commercialise the use of data, first step is to implement the necessary governance and controls. From there, the process of building a commercial data business gets underway. Brokers are compromised by the challenge of creating commercial product but also need to protect their client relationships.

EOSE worked with this brokerage to review the available data and collect the data inventory. The firm had hired a team to set up and grow the commercial data business but didn’t want to wait for their non-compete to end before commercialising the data. EOSE worked with the internal teams to create the data governance framework for internal ownership, whilst implementing external compliance and controls.

Challenges

  • New team out on non-compete for 6 months
  • Limited in-house knowledge of data commercialisation
  • New technology partners developing data assets
  • No legal framework for data agreements, policy or process for licensing usage

The Solutions

Benefits

EOSE set up the process and tools for the incoming team. A data license, policy and process were ready and approved by the group legal team. A data inventory – showing data from across multiple desks with relevant reference rates, tenors and identifiers – was created, ready for their product development and packaging. Six key vendors, identified as ‘of interest’, were approached and introduced to the brokers. EOSE overall engagement accelerated the time to market and reduced costs once the new team landed.
