Upcoming Webinar: Optimising cloud, marketplaces & managed data services
Date: 30 June 2026
Time: 10:00am ET / 3:00pm London / 4:00pm CET
Duration: 50 minutes
Financial institutions are under mounting pressure to rethink how they source, manage and distribute market data. Rising data volumes, multi-cloud adoption and the operational demands of regulations such as DORA are exposing the limits of legacy infrastructure, and driving firms toward managed services and cloud-native delivery models that can offer greater scalability, resilience and cost predictability.
At the same time, the emergence of data marketplaces and model-as-a-service platforms is changing the economics of analytics distribution. Institutions that once built bespoke integration pipelines for every new dataset or model can now discover, license and consume third-party content through governed, centralised environments, reducing time-to-insight and lowering the barriers to commercialising proprietary analytics.
Yet the transition is far from straightforward. Firms must balance performance requirements against cost, navigate complex entitlements and licensing structures, and ensure that cloud-based architectures meet the governance and compliance standards demanded by regulators and internal risk functions. Choosing between fully managed services, hybrid deployments and self-hosted cloud infrastructure remains a strategic decision with significant long-term implications.
This A-Team Group webinar will bring together industry practitioners and technology leaders to examine how firms are optimising their use of cloud infrastructure, data marketplaces and managed services, and what best practice looks like as these capabilities mature.
Discussion topics will include:
- The shift from on-premises to cloud-native and managed service models for market data distribution: drivers, progress and remaining barriers.
- How data marketplaces and model-as-a-service platforms are reshaping the way institutions discover, license and consume analytics and third-party content.
- Balancing cost efficiency, latency and performance in cloud-based data architectures, and the role of hybrid deployment strategies.
- Ensuring governance, entitlements management and regulatory compliance (including DORA) across cloud and managed service environments.
- The role of AI and advanced analytics in optimising data workflows, and how cloud platforms are enabling new use cases at scale.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is essential for market data managers, heads of data strategy, trading technologists, infrastructure architects and operations leaders at buy-side and sell-side firms who are evaluating or implementing cloud-based data delivery, managed services or marketplace solutions. It is also relevant for compliance and data governance professionals responsible for ensuring that cloud migration and third-party data consumption meet regulatory and internal policy requirements.
