Transaction Network Services (TNS) has upgraded its TNS Data Usage Optimizer (DUO) with the launch of an interactive customer portal.
Building on the launch of DUO in late 2024, this new interface offers buy and sell side firms direct, on-demand access to the DUO portal to analyse market data subscriptions, identify unused services, and eliminate unnecessary spend.
The new DUO portal turns complex, raw data files from vendor entitlement systems into an actionable dashboard, allowing firms to quickly pinpoint and eradicate non-essential costs, the firm says.
TNS has used DUO with global banks and financial firms and in the case of one bank, TNS identified monthly savings of US$60,000 by highlighting unused data feeds.
The DUO portal is the second release of the software and provides a centralised, global view of data expenses, the firm adds.
Tom Lazenga, general manager, TNS Financial Markets, says: “Last year we introduced DUO to solve a critical industry problem.
“Today, we're putting the power to control market data costs directly into our customers' hands. The DUO portal empowers data managers and desk heads to instantly identify and act on potential savings.”
Lazenga adds: “Our goal with the DUO portal was to make identifying wasted spend as simple as possible. This portal lays the foundation for our product roadmap, which includes automated feed provisioning and support for additional data providers.”
