Fidessa group plc (LSE: FDSA) today announced that it has been named Best Sell-side OMS and Best Cross Asset Trading System in the 2017 Intelligent Trading Technology (ITT) Awards. These latest accolades bring to five the number of awards Fidessa has received this year for its sell-side trading platform.
With brokers today operating in an increasingly competitive and highly regulated marketplace, they need to offer a differentiated service to their buy-side clients whilst meeting their regulatory obligations and controlling costs. Fidessa's fully-hosted, high performance, global platform connects to over 220 markets across five asset classes. Combining exceptions-based workflow with a range of smart visualisation tools that help them make sense of the vast amounts of data available to them, it facilitates the highest levels of execution quality and control.
Commenting on the awards, David Polen, Global Head of Electronic Execution at Fidessa, said: "We have invested significantly in our platform to ensure that our customers can not only meet the challenges of trading in today's highly complex marketplace but that they can do so efficiently and cost-effectively. We are really pleased to have won these two awards. They represent validation by the industry of the ongoing efforts Fidessa is making to provide the very best technology and the highest levels of service."
