What Makes DGEB Different?

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Clarity Over Complexity: We specialise in simplifying dense and technical policies without compromising compliance.

  • Real Market Insight: Our team has worked inside banks, hedge funds, data vendors, and CFD houses — giving us a 360° view of what works and what doesn’t.

  • Long-Term Partnership: We’re not here for a one-off review. We provide annual updates, advisory sessions, and continuous benchmarking.

How It Works

We break DGEB into four key pillars:

  1. Review: In-depth analysis of licensing and policy models, including non-display, derived data, distribution, private investor and unit of count.

  2. Recommend: Evidence-based guidance on where your policies can evolve — with a focus on simplicity, scalability, and sustainability.

  3. Implement: We guide your internal teams through the change process and support stakeholder engagement.

  4. Maintain: Ongoing reviews to ensure you're never caught off guard by industry shifts.

In today’s fast-paced market data landscape, exchanges and consumers are under more pressure than ever. With shifting regulatory demands, the rise of algorithmic and AI-driven trading, increasingly sophisticated data consumption models and growing audit pressures, the pursuit of simplistic, industry-aligned policies and pricing is a significant challenge. 

 

Yet one thing remains constant: the growing disconnect between exchanges and consumers.

 

At Datagum, we heard this message loud and clear. That’s why we developed the Datagum Exchange Benchmarking Service (DGEB) — a dedicated service to bridge the divide.

 

The Problem: Policies That No Longer Fit the Market

Exchanges either rely on legacy licensing frameworks that were built for simpler times or have created overly complicated alternatives to compensate for this.

 

This results in frustration for both sides:

  • Exchanges find themselves swamped in admin, audits and pushbacks.

  • Consumers face confusion, inefficiency, and outdated pricing models.

 

Worse still, these mismatches can stifle growth, delay onboarding, and increase compliance risks.

DGEB: Closing the Divide Between Exchanges and Consumers

The market is evolving. Your policy framework should too.

Enter DGEB: A Smarter Way Forward

DGEB was born from a simple idea: if policies and pricing models aren’t working for consumers or exchanges, why not rebuild them altogether? Our service provides a full policy health check, understanding your pain points and benchmarking your current frameworks against industry best practices. But we don’t stop there — we offer ongoing support to help you evolve over time as the industry continues to shift.
