BSO wins best network provider award at the Waters Rankings 2021

BSO, a global pioneering infrastructure and connectivity provider, has won Best Network Provider in the prestigious Waters Rankings 2021. The awards programme is judged exclusively by WatersTechnology’s readers, a leading source for technology and data-related information to the financial services sector.

The award reflects BSO’s commitment to provide data-intensive businesses with the infrastructure critical to their mission. This is reflected by BSO’s new brand, ‘built for better’, which launched earlier this year, as well as in the impressive growth that the company is experiencing.

 In May 2021, BSO reported 40% revenue growth as businesses move to a digital-first model in response to the pandemic. The company also saw a 116% increase in demand for cloud solutions, hosting suites, and managed services.

Michael Ourabah, CEO of BSO said:
“This recognition by WatersTechnology’s readers is testament to our commitment to delivering without compromise, especially within global financial services. We are honoured that so many readers felt compelled to endorse us. We will continue to build on our multi-award-winning heritage as we develop innovative solutions that support market making, arbitrage and liquidity aggregation.”

Dating back to 2003, the Waters Rankings covers 33 categories across five sections: Trading Services, Trading Tools, Data Management, Compliance, Risk Management and the Back Office, and Infrastructure and Connectivity.

This award win follows BSOs recent success at the TradingTech Insight Europe Awards 2021 where the company won Best High Performing Network Services.
