November 13, 2013 - Linedata (NYSE Euronext: LIN), the global solutions provider dedicated to the investment management and credit industries, today announced Linedata Compliance has won the Best Buy Side Compliance Award from Buy Side Technology.
The seventh Annual Buy Side Technology awards were presented at a ceremony in London on November 1, 2013. Linedata received the award for Linedata Compliance, the real time pre- and post-trade investment compliance monitoring and incident management solution. With over 85 clients globally, Linedata Compliance offers a comprehensive approach to compliance with regional and local expertise.
The world of compliance is changing at a pace never before witnessed. With the regulatory reviews that have followed the global financial crisis, the requirements have become ever more stringent; clients, often aided by investment consultants, have devised more prescriptive mandates requiring greater levels of transparency. In particular, the demands of UCITS IV/V, Dodd-Frank, AIFMD and shareholder disclosure rules have increased the scope of demands placed on compliance officers. This has driven the need for a new generation of compliance tools and Linedata has made significant investments in Linedata Compliance to meet these challenges.
"The judging panel was impressed with the advances made in Linedata Compliance. While this award category was highly competitive, Linedata has demonstrated that it has invested heavily in ensuring Linedata Compliance is best in class," comments Victor Anderson, Editor-in-Chief of Buy Side Technology and Waters Technology. "As it is global, scalable and flexible enough to meet the compliance needs of international organizations, Linedata Compliance truly demonstrates excellence in compliance."
The Buy Side Technology awards honor the leading technologies and vendors in their area of expertise, through an auditable and transparent methodology underpinned by the input and experience of seven judges - five buy-side-focused technology consultants and two of Buy-Side Technology's editors.
"We are especially pleased to be recognized as the Best Buy Side Compliance Award winner by Buy Side Technology," remarked Anvaraly Jiva, Founder and CEO of Linedata. "As firms look to implement compliance solutions that respond to the many regulatory needs at both the global and local level, we are confident that Linedata Compliance will address the challenges of today's evolving regulatory environment. This prestigious award further validates the innovation and commitment we have made to Linedata Compliance to help in overcoming those challenges."
In addition to Linedata Compliance, the recently introduced Linedata Compliance Managed Service enables clients to meet regulatory challenges across geographies and jurisdictions. A cloud-based solution, accessible over the web, the service provides buy side asset managers with a low-risk and low-cost opportunity to acquire business intelligence and is a fully managed and monitored rules-based service.
