The announcement was part of the 2011 Waters Rankings, a widely respected industry award based on a polling of qualified readers of Incisive Media's WatersTechnology, a financial IT publication with a circulation of over 10,100.  

"It is truly an honor to be recognized by WatersTechnology's readers as a leading provider of CEP and EDM solutions," said Eric Johnson, senior vice president and GM, Financial Services Industry, Sybase. "Winning in both these categories for consecutive years is testament to Sybase's focus on maintaining and delivering a world-class and innovative product portfolio – including Sybase ESP, Sybase RAP, as well as Sybase IQ. It also demonstrates our ongoing commitment to consistently meet the demanding high-performance standards of today's capital markets firms."

The first of Sybase's winning categories was CEP for the second year in a row. Sybase ESP, a significant new version of the award-winning Sybase® Aleri CEP platform, empowers customers to deliver real-time applications such as continuous risk assessment, extremely low latency and algorithmic trading solutions, and the enrichment and deep analysis of big market data, in a fraction of the time that traditional approaches would require.

Sybase RAP – The Trading Edition brought home the EDM honors for the fourth year in a row. The system meets challenges created by the explosive volumes of market data consumed by financial services firms.  Sybase RAP logically processes and stores decades worth of market data to support highly effective risk analysis, trading strategy development and execution.

Winners of the Waters Rankings 2011 awards were formally presented with their awards last night at a reception held at the Empire Room in Manhattan's Empire State Building.
