Market Data Challenges

In working with financial institutions, we see the same hurdles come back time and again. Left unaddressed, they slow down progress. These challenges are exactly why BIQH exists: to overcome them together with our customers.

Common challenges:

  • Maintaining control over market data flows Market data spaghetti creates a tangled web of streams, making control harder every day.
  • Limited capacity for change Stretched resources leave little room for innovation, keeping organisations stuck in the past.
  • A shortage of market data expertise Scarce talent makes it difficult to build and retain the skills needed for reliable market data management.

Market Data Platform:
Addressing the Challenges

Maintaining control over market data flows

By validating and storing data from various sources in our BIQH Silver Copy Database, and consolidating it into a single source of truth within the BIQH Golden Copy Database, we ensure your market data is always reliable and consistent across your entire organisation.

Limited capacity for change

Our advanced API can mimic existing interfaces, eliminating the need for additional IT change capacity. Our managed services cover tasks such as data feed maintenance, permissioning and service delivery management, allowing your team to focus on value-adding business activities.

A shortage of market data expertise

BIQH provides comprehensive support through our managed services. Our experts monitor market data quality, manage system permissions and ensure compliance with vendor restrictions, acting as an extension of your internal market data teams.

Exploring the BIQH Market Data Platform

The BIQH Market Data Platform consolidates, validates, and distributes complex market data, providing clients with actionable insights for informed decision-making.

Consolidation

The BIQH Market Data Platform consolidates all vendor feeds into one unified model. All incoming and outgoing data flows are logged by default, giving you full auditability, usage insights and data lineage.

Why it works:

  • Vendor-independent data model
  • Full auditability and transparency
  • Centralises a fragmented landscape

Validation

All data, both vendor and internal, is validated and cleansed before it enters your client-specific golden copy database. Technical and data quality checks ensure reliability, which you can manage yourself or leave to us as part of our managed services.

Why it works:

  • Technical and data quality checks
  • Four-eyes principle for data integrity
  • Managed or self-service options

Distribution

BIQH follows an API-first strategy, with all data distribution managed through our GraphQL API. You can build queries to retrieve exactly what you need from the BIQH consolidated model, while data vendor contract restrictions are always respected. Data can be delivered in any format, from flat files to web applications.

Why it works:

  • API-first with GraphQL
  • Full compliance with data vendor contracts
  • Flexible output in any format
