Data Notification Manager

The West Highland Data Notification Manager (DNM) identifies the impact of Market Data Provider’s content changes to their environment.

DNM is an intelligent tool for automating the management and distribution of system and data feed change notifications. This solves the problem of managing vendor notices while mitigating financial risk. Market Data Managers can now search notifications by price impact, product, exchange, affected users, and more. Additionally, DNM integrates with client ticket systems to seamlessly merge with existing client business processes and has a built in API for direct access to DN data. This flexible approach provides a more convenient and precise way of executing the various DN’s across many of the market data providers such as Refinitiv, Bloomberg, Activ, ICE, FactSet, Clearnet, etc.

West Highland offers this as a cloud based service leveraging its team of experts to decipher DN impact to the firm and spearhead the weekly notification meetings.

THE KEY BENEFITS OF DNM

OVERVIEW


Digital Intelligence and Insight via Data Notification Manager (DNM)

Staying in front of the daily changes to the millions of data points that impact your business is mission critical. Not knowing the effect that a change notification has on applications or users puts your business at risk of service outages and financial impact. Changes not being communicated to stakeholders and processed in a timely manner drastically impacts a firm’s bottom line.

DNM provides clients with a granular view of the impact that vendor service changes have, down to the instrument level so your business knows exactly what changes need to be made, mitigating impact to the business. In the past, most changes were announced for a data package or bundle as they happened, leaving business application managers and data support teams with the time-consuming task of determining impact to the business’ intraday workflow. Prevent and eliminate revenue impacting service disruptions and license fee increases using DNM.
