At the moment, managing your data with us is spread across several places. You use the Product Requirements Catalogue to configure and order data. You access the Product Requirements Editor (PREd) to manage your destinations, feeds and requirements. And everything else — your agreement, your invoices, your renewal, a change of contact — goes through email or a support ticket.

ECMWF Data Desk will ease your journey and bring everything together. In practice you will be able to:

- **See** every licence you hold, with its service package, volume band and expiry date, at a glance.
- **Renew** your contract from the licence page, from 90 days before expiry.
- **Request** a higher volume band or service package, and cancel a pending request.
- **Request** termination, with the notice period and effective date shown up front.
- **Manage** who holds which role on each agreement, including MARS archive, PREd and ECPDS access.
- **See** your data changes against your annual allowance, and when it resets.
- **Contact** support directly from a destination or feed page.

We are working towards launching the ECMWF Data Desk **in Q4 2026** , and it will continue to evolve after that.

Documentation is under preparation and we will share it with you when it is ready.
