Data Licensing and Subscription Management

Our Story and Mission

DataBP’s principals saw first-hand how the majority of financial institutions handled data administration inefficiently. This was in part because there were no tools on the market designed to handle the complex commercial models and business processes that data businesses require. In 2013, DataBP was founded to make these business processes as easy as online shopping. DataBP’s tailored data e-commerce services change the way businesses approach data sales and operations, freeing up their teams to focus on customers.

Our goal is to make your data business easier to manage and grow. Our modernized platform can integrate with any existing system or software you need to keep, providing a smooth transition to a new chapter of efficiency, reliability, and growth. Even after initial set up, we’ll continue to provide your team with the support needed to scale your business and maximize the value of your data.
