Member Roundtable: Data Management as an Outsourced Service
Should consumer firms outsource their data management requirements or are they better doing such things themselves? What are the benefits to be gained and what pitfalls and obstacles need to be navigated on the way with either out-sourcing or in-sourcing of Data Management?
This panel will focus on the decisions surrounding how best to manage multiple incoming data sources with a strong focus on reference data sources but also considering the same issues in a real time context. Consumer firms are faced with an array of different incoming data sources each with their own nuances, foibles and benefits. Understanding and interpreting different data models and formats, cleansing errors and inconsistencies, and adding value to data are amongst several activities that need to be addressed. The question for this panel to explore is whether this is better done external to the consumer firm or in-house. As with most things in life there is probably not a black or white answer and our panel will most likely uncover a spectrum of approaches and solutions. This panel will be made up of firms representing quite different perspectives on this issue.

Member Roundtable: PEOPLE MATTER – – The Human Dimension of our Industry
All too often, and rightly so, we focus on issues relating to the professional work we all do. This panel aims to take a more introspective approach by focusing our discussion back on us - the people who actually work in the market data industry.
Where do our people come from, how do we find and recruit them, indeed how and why do they find us? Once they are on board how do they develop in their careers, how are they helped in their careers. What is expected of people in the industry and what in turn do they expect of the industry? How and why do people move within our sector – be it between vendors and consumer firms or between disciplines like real time data and securities processing? Are we stuck in our silos? On a slightly different tack - how are we market data folk viewed in the wider industry? Can we or should we do more to improve how we are perceived? Does it matter how we are perceived by others in the wider financial markets? FISD has kicked off a professional certification program – how does that help us all? What else should we in the industry do to improve our lot in life?
We will pull together a panel representing the true diversity of our community.
