Cloud9 Technologies was named Best Sell-Side Trading Communication System at the 2019 Sell-Side Technology Awards that were presented in London on April 12.

Hosted by InfoPro Digital and Waters Technology, the Sell-Side Technology Awards – in their seventh consecutive year – recognize the leading fintech and third-party providers servicing sell-side institutions over the last 12 months. Winners are selected by a panel of Waters Technology’s senior journalists across 32 categories, focusing on innovation and addressing the most pressing needs of the sell-side.

“Communication methodologies by banks and financial institutions are becoming more streamlined and automated as the speed of markets increases and the industry takes a more comprehensive approach towards data analysis,” said Cloud9 CEO and Co-Founder Gerald E. Starr. “We’re honored to receive an accolade that points directly to the major pain points that Cloud9 is resolving for the sell-side.”

Cloud9 expects to have some of the top global banks fully onboard by mid-year.
