Why Visibility Matters
Market data is one of the largest and most complex expenses in capital markets, yet most firms can't see what they truly own. Licenses are spread across desks and regions. Assignments are locked in vendor portals. Renewal dates and cancel-by windows are buried in contracts.
This fragmentation drives
Overlap across teams
Silent rollovers that drain budgets
Limited leverage during negotiations
Compliance risk during audits
PostSig Inventory changes that. It provides a real-time view of every license and seat across your vendor stack, with terms and renewals translated into clear, actionable insights.
Market data spend is often riddled with duplicate or underused licenses across desks and regions. Inventory surfaces what's assigned, who's using it, and where overlap may exist so you can cut waste before renewal.
You'll uncover
Duplicate or overlapping licenses across teams
Idle seats still tied to inactive users
Opportunities to reassign rather than repurchase
Delivery methods and seat assignments shape compliance and cost, yet most teams don't have a single view. Inventory shows how services are delivered — workstation, API, or SFTP — who is entitled to use them, and who is actually using them.
You'll gain clarity on
Delivery methods that may introduce compliance risks
Seats assigned but not actively in use
Services that are provisioned beyond actual need
Stay ahead of silent rollovers
Cancel-by dates and renewal terms often hide inside contracts, creating last-minute scrambles or auto-renewals at inflated rates. Inventory keeps every date and obligation visible in real time so you negotiate on your terms.
You'll catch
Upcoming cancel-by dates before they lapse
Overlapping renewals across desks and regions
Auto-renewals that would otherwise go unnoticed
Be ready when audits come
Vendor audits expose firms that cannot prove scope of use. Inventory maintains a live, defensible record of licenses and seat assignments, translated into plain, usable insights so you are always audit-ready.
You'll demonstrate
Which users or desks had valid license assignments
That usage stayed within agreed scope
Proof points that reduce the risk of penalties
Scale without losing control
As firms grow, vendor stacks multiply and complexity increases. Inventory scales seamlessly, giving finance, compliance, and market data teams one unified view of spend, rights, and usage.
You'll ensure
Oversight as headcount and teams expand
No gaps in renewal tracking or compliance coverage
Efficient onboarding and offboarding without duplication
