NEW YORK, March 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LTX, a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (NYSE: BR), has completed a successful migration of its corporate bond e-trading platform to Amazon Web Services (AWS). With the completed migration, LTX can leverage the security and scale of AWS cloud services and better optimize its data science processes, enabling clients to make more informed corporate bond trading decisions based on transparency and real-time insights.
"By moving its trading platform and critical business applications to AWS, LTX can bring even more intelligence and improved functionality for corporate bond traders in an environment where security and resiliency are the highest priority," said Scott Mullins, Managing Director, Worldwide Financial Services at AWS. "As LTX and AWS continue working together, we will modernize e-trading technology while providing increased privacy, agility and scalability for LTX clients."
LTX can now take advantage of improved machine learning monitoring and scalability, using the vast quantities of LTX platform data to securely create more robust datasets. The migration will allow LTX to provide more advanced analysis of its Liquidity Cloud®, the LTX network of anonymous real-time buy- and sell-side indications of interest. LTX will enhance its pricing, dealer selection, client recommendation, and similar bonds functionalities, better helping buy-side investors and dealers to make smarter trading decisions.
