Build vs. Buy: Empowering Tech Teams to Focus on High-Value Work

Technology teams at financial firms are often stretched thin, balancing the demands of maintaining critical infrastructure with the need to support strategic initiatives. However, too often, they find themselves spending time managing data ingestion, standardization, and reporting infrastructure—tasks that, while essential, take them away from strategic initiatives. That’s where dv01 comes in.

A True Partner, Not Just a Vendor

dv01 doesn’t just offer a platform; we work alongside internal teams to enhance their workflows and provide the tools and data needed to work smarter, not harder.

dv01’s industry-leading data is validated, normalized, and enhanced with calculated fields to support your workflow. We deliver this data in consumable formats through flexible access points such as data lakes, SFTP, and APIs—enabling internal technology and engineering teams to:

• Free up engineering resources: Shift focus from maintaining infrastructure and managing data pipelines to driving strategic initiatives.

• Accelerate time-to-market: Quickly integrate fully operational solutions without the overhead of building from scratch.

• Work with data on your terms: Seamlessly ingest and consume high-quality data through your preferred systems, tailored to fit your workflow.

• Benefit from collective intelligence: dv01 continuously enhances its products and datasets based on feedback from a broad network of clients. Features and enhancements requested by others become tools you can leverage—often before you even realize you need them.

There are hidden costs of building in-house. Rather than maintaining complex data pipelines, teams can focus on building what makes their firm unique.
