... And still more awards for BT

We would so like to thank all the clients who have voted for us in recent awards. Thanks to you, the BT Radianz Cloud was voted Best Data Networking and Infrastructure Provider at the Inside Market Data Awards 2014 in May. And as we go to press we have just learned that BT Radianz has been voted Best Cloud Infrastructure Provider in the 2014 Waters Rankings.

These latest awards follow our recent double wins as Best Cloud Provider to the Sell Side and Best Infrastructure to the Sell Side at the Waters Sell-Side Technology Awards 2014 in April.

A perfect storm is brewing as the wave of regulation sweeping across the world in the wake of the financial crisis begins to hit home. It is forcing the pace of technology renewal as CTOs and CFOs take a long hard look at their legacy systems and consider just how they can stay compliant and competitive.

Asset classes that have traditionally been less technological and less electronic are having to become more electronic and more hybrid, while those that have been more electronic are beginning to complement low touch services with human collaboration as the impact of new regulations like MiFID II begins to make itself felt. Whether you are in the pretrade, trade or post trade part of the markets, we can help you move compliantly right the way across the trade lifecycle, using technology like the cloud and the collaboration of voice and data across front to back office to help you stay ahead of the wave.
