Is there a blueprint for delivering and handling market reference data which would allow firms to take advantage of new technologies without instigating massive change management programmes?
To find out, we asked experts from data suppliers, technology providers, industry figures and some of the people directly responsible for keeping their firms’ reference data pristine and easy to access.
