Many companies come to us wondering if and how they can generate revenue from their existing data. It’s a rather lengthy process, but one that can be lucrative for prospective providers. To help those looking to make the most from their data, we recently hosted a webinar entitled, “How to Commercialize Your Data,” presented by Quandl’s Chief Data Officer Abraham Thomas and featuring Forrester Principal Analyst Dr. Jennifer Belissent.

According to Forrester’s 2017 Data and Analytics survey, 48% of companies are currently commercializing their data — up from 32% last year. This is to say that data supply is an area of opportunity for many businesses.

During the presentation, Abraham and Jennifer focused on the following topics:

How to identify your data’s value

How to prepare your data for market

How to sell your data to a targeted audience

Case studies of companies that have gone beyond monetization and commercialized their data successfully

In case you weren’t able to join the 100+ attendees in real time, we have embedded the recording below for your convenience.
