Inside Pulse on Data: How the PostSig Alliance is Redefining Market Data Management

This week in New York City, PostSig hosted Pulse on Data—a dynamic gathering of market data leaders, compliance professionals, and consultants all focused on one thing: solving the post-signature contract problem.

Held under the banner of our newly launched PostSig Alliance, the event made one thing clear: market data management is no longer a back-office task. It's a strategic imperative. And firms who master it are gaining a true competitive edge.

Why Market Data Management Needs a New Approach

Capital markets firms are dealing with increasingly complex vendor agreements. From regulatory compliance to rising data costs, the pressure is mounting. Yet many organizations still rely on spreadsheets, email chains, and legacy tools to manage critical contracts.

That’s no longer sustainable.

The risks are real:

• Missed compliance deadlines risk regulatory exposure

• Overlooked renewal dates lead to unnecessary costs

• Manual processes slow decision-making and limit scale

Pulse on Data wasn't just about identifying these challenges. It showcased the firms—and technologies—leading the way forward.

Speakers, including Chris Petrescu and Dan Entrup, explored how forward-thinking firms are shifting away from manual contract workflows and toward scalable, technology-enabled strategies. The discussions centered around real-time visibility, cost containment, and risk reduction—all made possible through more intelligent post-signature contract management.

Across the room, one theme kept coming up: it’s time to shift from contract storage to contract performance.

FAQs: Market Data Management

What is market data management?
It’s the process of overseeing vendor relationships, licensing terms, usage rights, and costs tied to financial data sources. In today’s environment, this requires automation, compliance tracking, and real-time insights.

Why is market data contract performance important?
Because a data contract's value (and risk) happens after it's signed, that’s when compliance lapses, unexpected renewals, and budget overruns occur.

What makes PostSig different from CLM tools?
Traditional CLMs stop at the signature. PostSig starts there—managing the entire post-signature lifecycle with tools purpose-built for market data and vendor complexity.

Can I use PostSig with my current systems?
Absolutely. PostSig is designed to flex into your current workflows—whether you're using spreadsheets, shared folders, or internal tools. There’s no rip and replace. Our platform ingests contracts automatically and provides structured insights with minimal lift or disruption.
