Cloud9 Technologies was named Best Front-Office Data Management Tool at the 2019 Fund Technology & Wall Street Letter Awards that were held in New York on February 6.

Previously known as the Wall Street Letter Institutional Trading Awards, the Fund Technology & WSL Awards recognize and reward fintech vendors, broker-dealers, data specialists and exchanges that have provided exceptional service to the asset management and institutional trading sectors over the last 12 months. Winners were named in 29 categories and decided upon by a judging panel that included a panel of six industry experts and analysts.

“Data management capabilities are more important than ever before due to the evolving market structure and regulatory landscape,” said Cloud9 CEO and Co-Founder Gerald Starr. “We’re very excited to receive this award because it recognizes the robust data services that we’re providing to our buy and sell-side clients.”

Cloud9 is currently in the process of on-boarding several tier-one banks that are expected to be live by mid-year.

We’re proud to announce that Fintech Global recently named Cloud9 to the 2017 RegTech 100. Cloud9 was selected out of 416 companies for the list, which recognizes the most innovative companies that every financial institution needs to know in 2018.

Cloud9 is one of 21 U.S. companies included on the international list. The U.S. has established itself as a global leader in RegTech, with 195 companies collectively receiving more than $2.8bn in investment over the past five years.

Since our inception, Cloud9 has established itself as a revolutionary, first-mover in the trader voice space.

With our flagship C9 Trader product, we brought trader voice communications to the cloud, introducing enterprise-level compliance, mobility, scalability, reliability and affordability.

Now we’re continuing to transform regtech and trader voice by enabling firms to harness the power within their voice data. By utilizing the enhanced metadata exclusive to the C9 Trader platform, we have been at the forefront in the use and development of enhanced deep learning techniques for accurate trader voice transcription – leading to advancements in surveillance, biometrics, behavioral monitoring, and trade analytics.

Capturing, storing, and analyzing trader data is becoming increasingly relevant with the revision of mandates and directives like MiFID II and Dodd-Frank. With our trader voice transcription and analytics capabilities, Cloud9 is helping to keep firms compliant with a variety of tools, including full content search, biometric voice authentication, speaker diarization, and trade ticket completion.

The list will be published as a Fintech Global report and distributed to their subscribers, as well as offered on their website for non-subscribers.
