Amazon has launched AWS Data Exchange, a subscription-based data service that gives customers access to datasets from third-party providers.
According to AWS, the Data Exchange has been created to assist customers with defeating the normal barriers they face when buying into third-party data, for example, managing disparate charging relationships and permitting agreements with each datum supplier they use.
"Customers have asked us for an easier way to discover, buy in to, and integrate different data sets into the applications, analytics, and machine-learning models they're running on AWS. Unfortunately, the way customers exchange data hasn't developed much in the last 20 years," said Stephen Orban, General Manager of AWS Data Exchange. "AWS Data Exchange gives our customers the ability to rapidly integrate third-party data in the workloads they're migrating to the cloud while giving qualified data providers a cutting edge and secure way to package, convey, and reach the huge number of AWS customers around the world."

More than 1,000 products containing data are available in AWS Marketplace from more than 80 qualified data providers, including Reuters, Change Healthcare, Dun & Bradstreet, TransUnion, Foursquare, Pitney Bowes, and Virtusa.
Amazon says its AWS Data Exchange also makes it easier for qualified data providers to securely package, license, and deliver data products to millions of AWS customers worldwide. Qualified data providers can publish free or paid products under the terms of use they specify and can issue private offers with custom terms for specific AWS customers. They can also choose to approve each subscription, allowing them to review intended uses cases or manage compliance needs.
AWS Data Exchange provides qualified data providers with daily, weekly, and monthly reports detailing subscription activity, and handles associated billing, payment collection, and secure delivery of data to subscribers.
