Market data cost consulting
We find what you can cut, up to 20% of your market data spend, without losing the data your teams need.
WatchPoint Finance is a market data consultancy. We look at your contracts, your licenses and how people really use them. Then we show you what to cancel, what to downgrade, and where a cheaper platform will do the job. And we help you make the changes.
We map every license, contract and renewal date, so you see exactly what you pay for and when you can change it.
We find the seats nobody opens, the data people pay for twice, and the licenses that do far more than people need.
Not everyone needs a full terminal. We show you cheaper Bloomberg Terminal alternatives that still give each person the data they use.
We help you renegotiate contracts, move people to new platforms, and get your teams up to speed.
Market data contracts renew on their own, and you can usually only drop seats at renewal. Miss that window and you pay for every dead license for another full term. We get you the evidence before your deadline. You go into the negotiation knowing exactly which seats to cut.
Licenses renew automatically. People change roles and keep their terminals. Teams buy their own. Nobody has the facts to say no, so the bill only goes up. We bring the facts, and the savings follow.
We don't guess. We measure how each person actually uses their subscriptions. Then we tell you what to keep, change or cancel, with Bloomberg and with other providers.

Expert advice, real data
Most advice on market data is guesswork. Ours starts with facts. We use our own tools to see how your teams really use their subscriptions, without getting in the way of their work. The tools fit into your Microsoft systems with enterprise-level security. Then our team, who know financial services and market data vendors well, turns what we find into a clear plan.
Even a small 5% cut is worth this much to you every year, and most firms carry far more waste than that.
