cottage industry of providing feeds

In the banking world there is a  IT ‘cottage industry’ of providing / consuming data

 

Nowdays you need ‘director level’ approval to give another team access to your database – this is because giving someone a feed from your system is like entering into a lifetime agreement – you team will be blamed and have incident ticket raised against them each time this feed is not present or the data is believed to be incorrect. When a team requests access to your database, simply push back by saying “there is the director responsible for this system – please obtain approval from them”.
