FTF has begun the process of selecting the nominees for the 2017 FTF News Technology Innovation Awards.
Financial Technologies Forum (FTF), owner of FTF News, has just completed the nominations process for the 2017 FTF News Technology Innovation Awards, and the list of final nominees will be made public by early March and the voting process will begin.
The nominating process elicited nearly 300 nominations in total from leading financial technology companies that offer software, services and systems to facilitate middle- and back-office securities operations.
The FTF awards encompasses 25 categories, and except for the Editor’s Choice award, the ultimate winners of the awards are selected by FTF News readers and qualified financial services industry professionals who cast their votes via an online system.
This year’s awards contest is the seventh time since 2011 that FTF has honored the best in the post-trade securities operations industry. The awards honor achievements during the prior year.
“We received the most submissions ever this year,” says Maureen Lowe, president and founder of FTF. Lowe is also the publisher of the FTF News service and FTF Focus magazine. “It is hard to choose from so many qualified submissions. Some categories had more than 20 submissions. In general, we have to select the top five to seven candidates for each category. Overall, we are also very impressed by all of the achievements, client wins, growth and innovation that occurred in 2016 at so many fintech companies. The industry is definitely stepping up its game and it shows.”
The location of the awards gala will be announced in the coming weeks.
FTF sponsors industry conferences, a new service, special reports and digital and printed magazines.
