Billed as the largest financial services network in the world, BT Radianz boasts hundreds of providers delivering applications through the service, which boasts service level agreement (SLA)-guaranteed 100 percent uptime and a global reach. Its client list includes some of the largest, most recognizable names across the capital markets, including investment banks, a range of buy-side firms and trading venue operators, while its offerings cover all business processes stretching across the entire trade lifecycle for all asset classes. The service has continued to grow throughout 2013 and 2014, with a number of new venues such as NLX, Aquis, and Squawker publicly announcing their use of Radianz, while coupling it with BT’s other services such as Cloud Compute and One Voice Radianz—all of which produces a telecommunications and connectivity juggernaut. Likewise, the extension of Radianz into datacenter provider Interxion’s campus platform allows for low-latency connectivity in the world’s major financial centers.

While “cloud” can be applied as a generic term to many technology offerings, it’s the intellectually trenchant approach to cloud taken by Radianz that sets it apart from its competition. Radianz, part of BT since 2005 when it was bought from Reuters, isn’t just a glorified application programming interface (API) hub for firms to talk to one another—it allows for the specific tailoring of cloud solutions according to need, and understands the concept of integration in addition to simple connectivity, a distinction that is too often overlooked when it comes to financial technology cloud products on large scales. A consistent focus on cost reduction has resulted in hybrid opportunities that seamlessly cross software stacks and infrastructure provision.

There are other providers that offer similar services, but few have the reach of BT Radianz, let alone its unrivalled pedigree and track record. In a world where national boundaries continue to shrink, and the need to operate globally takes on essential dimensions, Radianz is at the forefront of stitching disparate markets together, linking institutions regardless of their location.
