“Management is out of touch. They just want to see bodies at desks," a market data professional tells @MaxBowie in the latest #IMDWrap. Tech like cloud and SaaS let data roles to be performed from anywhere, so why are return-to-office mandates on the rise? https://t.co/8XMQOxgw5o

The IMD Wrap: Increasingly, market data systems can be operated completely remotely. So, why are firms insisting that data professionals return to the office?

(Bangs head against wall) IT'S. ALL. ABOUT. DATA. QUALITY!!!
For 22 years, @MaxBowie has written the same story over and over: Successful deployment of new technology hinges on good data quality and data management. In the latest #IMDWrap, Max looks at two studies that bear this out, yet again, as AI takes hold. https://t.co/1mJyIvt55r

Wondering if we'll see any of these resubmitted/rewritten...?
In a sharp policy shift, @SECGov has withdrawn 14 Gensler-era proposals — covering AI, cybersecurity, and market structure — as Chair Paul Atkins moves toward a more targeted, industry-informed approach. @EliotRaman and @MaxBowie for @Waterstechnology:

Update for anyone concerned about my stove: everything's working fine now that the heatwave has passed and ConEd has restored voltage. Hope your datacenters kept running smoothly throughout!
Heatwaves intensify datacenter cooling needs that are already sky high. In the latest #IMDWrap, @MaxBowie looks at a US equities broker that used @ExegyInc's FPGA components to address datacenter overcrowding and overheating, and reduce costs. https://t.co/6JYuSsVNYp

In the spirit of "reuse and recycle," I recycle much of my colleague @A_Malakian's Voice of the CTO interview with @BankofAmerica in this week's IMD Wrap
Reusing technology isn't just good for the planet—it's also good for the bottom line. In the latest #IMDWrap, @MaxBowie looks at initiatives at @BankofAmerica and @awscloud and the emerging trend of repurposing existing tech in lieu of replacing it. https://t.co/TQwZrmBheY

Market participants need to know which companies, including their supply chains, could be affected by tariffs, and to what extent. These data vendors may have the answers.
Trump's #tariffs will affect businesses differently, and the impact can be difficult to assess. In the #IMDWrap, @MaxBowie looks at data providers that are stepping in to supply tools to identify and analyze which companies are disproportionately exposed. https://t.co/N1jy1uCcXr

I compare current market chaos to the lead-up to the 2007-2008 financial crisis, and suggest that better data analysis tools, such as those from @ICE, @Moodys and @trumid that should help us better price assets and spot early warnings that may have been obscured 20 years ago.
Part of why the 2008 #financialcrisis was so swift and sudden is that data that could have warned us was not immediately clear or accessible. In the latest #IMDWrap, @MaxBowie asks: Are we still flying blind? https://t.co/FQ5iW74Elr
