The powerful data layer that DSE provides allows Asset Control business and operational users to easily search, acquire, and store market data, including sources that do not require a traditional mastering process, such us alternative data sets, proprietary data, and others. DSE will enable Asset Control customers t easily access and have better control of their financial data on-premise, and in multi-cloud or hybrid cloud deployments, in real-time at scale - which is very difficult to achieve with traditional databases. With the use of DSE, Asset Control customers benefit from lower cost data management as well as improved risk and compliance management.
