Advice from Experience
MWK Data Services is a consultancy and advisory firm specializing in the provision of services related to Financial Market Data, ranging from Product Development to Sales and Licensing Administration.
MWK Data was created and is led by Mike Kirby, a Market Data professional with over 30-years’ experience. Mike founded the market data business of a major interdealer brokerage firm and has since led the product development, sales strategy, licensing and channel partnerships of several global OTC and Exchange-based financial institutions. Mike is a global commercial executive and has achieved successful results in the growth of financial market data businesses worldwide.
Understandably many brokerage firms, clearing corporations, SEFs, data repositories and other firms are mainly focused on their core business. Some view the creation of a financial market data business to further enhance revenue growth as a project they would love to achieve, but simply do not have the resources to accomplish the goal nor the experience to do it efficiently.
We can structure a Data Strategy for your firm by creating a road map to every aspect of the data sales business. We can continue working through this strategy with you to the business launch and thereafter.
We can work with your Legal Team on creating a license model that suits your objectives, protects your data and prevents leakage when executed by prospective subscribers to your data products. Additionally, we can assist in setting your firm up with SaaS License Administration tools which can allow potential subscribers to access your products and generate a license online.
You may not be ready to hire a sales force specifically geared to selling your data products. We can sell and license the products on your behalf. We have a wealth of knowledge in this area and know many of the market data administrators at the major buy- and sell-side firms who would be executing the license agreement for your data.
Perhaps the market data you have available may benefit from enhancements to better encapsulate analytics such as trend indicators, moving averages, implied volatility, VWAP, VWAY, etc.
We can assist with possible enhancements to your data offerings by adding certain technical or analytical functions to increase marketability.
We can come visit or meet via video conference
