Best Data Exchange Platforms
Data Exchange platforms allow businesses to transmit and procure or enrich data without its inherent meaning being altered during acquisition. Data is transmitted in such a way to be easily consumed by a receiving system(s), many times normalizing the data outright. These exchanges often feature data-as-a-service capabilities as a key component, where industry, market, source, or subject matter data can be acquired en masse to fuel data-driven insights and market intelligence. While product, marketing, and business strategy teams can utilize the data acquired through these solutions for planning and driving initiatives, the data can also be used to fuel machine learning training and development. A variety of data solutions can work in conjunction with data exchanges, including data management platforms (DMPs), data mapping software (when moving acquired data into storage), and data visualization software for converting data to readable dashboards and graphics.
To qualify for inclusion in the Data Exchange category, a product must:

Learn More About Data Exchange Platforms
What are Data Exchange Platforms?
Data acquirers and providers need a secure environment to share or transfer data, and data exchange platforms does just that. Data exchange platforms help with secure data transfer from source to destination. The tool also helps share datasets in a way where the meaning attached to the data does not change. Data exchange platforms enable the transfer of large files and datasets between organizations, trading partners, or departments of the same organization. The most common data formats are CSV, XML, and GML.
Data exchange software help keep records of the data being shared, thus helping meet the organization's compliance requirements. These tools can also diverge and analyze data in one place. Some data exchange platforms today also provide real-time data transfer.
What are the Common Features of Data Exchange Platforms?
Data exchange platforms come with various features. The following are some core features that can help users obtain valuable data and further derive business insights:
Data normalization: This feature helps generate clean data. Generating clean data is done by organizing the data to appear similar across all records without changing its meaning while transferring. Normalization of data helps in eliminating any redundancy and ensures logical data storage and further exchange of data.
Data-as-a-service: Data-as-a-service is an essential part of the data ecosystem. Data-as-a-service helps deliver data storage and processing or analytics services over a network. The data is made available to relevant stakeholders in a cost-effective manner. Organizations with large amounts of data benefit from this feature.
Data management: One of the essential features of data exchange software is data management, which is collecting, organizing, storing, and protecting data. The management process begins with data acquisition. Acquiring data in the control center helps continue with the subsequent processes. Data conversion is the next step after acquisition. The raw data is converted into information for further processing. Following this, the well-processed data meets its objectives via data analysis.
Dynamic data exchange: This feature is a messaging protocol that allows data transfer. It enables applications to share data that use different formats. Applications are updated as soon as new data is available. Remote data exchange platforms use dynamic data exchange, and they provide notifications to restart systems after configuration. This feature can be used once or multiple times to exchange data.
Data exchange automation: Modern data exchange platforms have an automation feature to reduce the time taken for various data lifecycle tasks. Automation saves time in processing data.
What are the Benefits of Data Exchange Platforms?
Data exchange platforms provide access to data points from multiple sources. This proves beneficial to many data trading partners in various ways:
Collaborate across teams: Given the secured sharing of datasets, various departments, and teams can collaborate seamlessly by breaking data silos. Data exchange tools also help organizations collaborate with external stakeholders like customers, suppliers, and partners.
Gain accurate insights: Dynamic data exchange helps organizations gain better insights and clarity while planning business strategies. Using data from this software can help businesses create in-depth profiles of their customers.
Implement data governance: Data exchange platforms help meet the organization's compliance requirements. These platforms help keep records of shared information and investigate in case of discrepancies. These tools help with data management across the organization, thus keeping the data ecosystem in good health.
Simplify buying and selling data: Data exchange systems have made sharing datasets between different organizations feasible. They optimize the data-sharing process by making it easier to purchase data from the suppliers at once. These tools act as software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms, bringing together data suppliers and providers on a single platform.
Who Uses Data Exchange Platforms?
Data exchange is essential for agencies, publishers, and project managers. High-quality data can help various stakeholders in many different ways.
Marketing agencies: Data exchange platforms help marketing agencies learn more about their target customers by gaining a view of all their target audiences across every device. This software allows agencies to understand what customers like and want. This can help in planning effective marketing campaigns.
Publishers: Publishers use data exchange solutions to optimize their campaigns. These platforms provide high-quality data. By obtaining better insights into on-site visitors, publishers can get a better click-through rate (CTR). Data exchange platforms help them create the right content and target the right audience on the right platform.
Project managers: Using data exchange tools, project managers can collaborate with their colleagues better and thus work well on project management. Required teams getting access to this data can ensure better results. There could be requirements for project-specific data integration, which this software can help with. Gaining access to data sources on data exchange platforms, project managers can create insightful data visualizations using visualization tools.
IT support managers: IT support managers look after the software users and their training needs. They are involved in studying and analyzing the software, which will further help them train the team.
Challenges with Data Exchange Platforms
Data exchange platforms deal with massive datasets while sharing. Data could also come in varied formats such as XML, GML, and CSV. Any of the following challenges can arise when using the software:
Need for a strong compliance strategy: It isn’t easy to synchronize data management systems without a solid compliance policy and strategy. It could lose track of what data is being shared and with whom. It is essential to have a firm data management framework to enable operations and data engineering teams to apply effective data access controls.
Lack of an optimal number of buyers and providers: It is challenging for data exchange platforms to gain traction. Data suppliers hesitate to list their business where there is a lack of consumers and vice versa. Major cloud platforms that can run data exchange software help the systems gain data buyers and suppliers. Once acquired, sending an email notification for subscription request updates is essential to help retain the suppliers and the users.
Need for data integration: Data exchange tools focus on sharing data between suppliers and users or consumers. Often, the data consumers have to integrate this data into their internal data management systems. Data exchange software must validate clean and high-quality data in a readable format to aid this data integration. Data validation is an important step in bringing consistency to the data.
How to Buy Data Exchange Platforms
Requirements Gathering (RFI/RFP) for Data Exchange Platforms
Data exchange tools come with various features that cater to diverse business needs. It is essential to understand the exact requirements before looking for the right software. If the business needs only data transfer, data exchange software with secured data exchange can help. However, a data marketplace is a good option when an organization seeks to obtain data from many suppliers at once. RFP/RFIs can help the buyer understand the pricing plans, agreement guidelines, and product features.
Compare Data Exchange Products
Create a long list
The buying procedure begins with creating a long list of all the potential vendors of the software. The organization can evaluate based on the price, features, customer services, and support. The company can analyze the list further by considerating the product’s position in the competitive market.
Create a short list
After a thorough analysis of the requirements and which vendors fit the bill, the second step is to shortlist the data exchange software vendors that match the organization’s needs, thus creating a short list.
Conduct demos
Demos are an ideal way of understanding the product's functions and features. Both the buyer and vendor can measure the degree of alignment between product performance expectations and reality. There must be an IT professional involved to understand the installation or configuration of the software. This is also where the organization can get product quotes from the vendor.
Selection of Data Exchange Platforms
Choose a selection team
A team that will converse with vendors can include a marketing manager who will be the business user of the data exchange solutions, along with an IT professional to handle discussions about installation and support. A technical professional like a product manager who can better understand the software and gauge user experience should also be part of the team.
Negotiation
The negotiation can take place depending on the price quoted by the vendor. The buyer can negotiate based on the organization's budget and the required features.
Final decision
The final decision can be based on the information collected and the agreed-upon terms and conditions between the vendor and the buyer.
