Welcome back to another episode of FinTech Focus TV. Today, Toby is joined by the self-confessed market data geek and CEO of EOSE, Suzanne Lock.In this episode, the pair discuss the untapped capabilities and opportunities that data holds for the Financial Technology world. Suzanne describes how firms can capitalise on their data strategies and build systems that loop together entire business functions for everyone, across every department within a company. "Where brokers got squeezed and where they had to look for new revenue, the brokers themselves used data and really got into that data business probably about 15-20 years ago when brokers started charging uses for data and started to get data revenues."There's a lot more to be discussed about the opportunities that data businesses hold so we're sure we'll be welcoming Suzanne and the EOSE team back to our screens soon.
