The new offering, called the MetaCloud project, makes use of AWS to streamline smartTrade’s operations, and is also supported by the firm’s innovation incubator, smartTrade Advanced Innovation Lab (SAIL). 

Through this, the offering is set to address client needs, with the offering enabling the firm to manage and deploy solutions through AWS’ hybrid cloud approach.  

“AWS’ capabilities augment smartTrade’s existing strengths, further accelerating their innovation roadmap, enhancing their market-leading platforms, and enabling the delivery of next-generation solutions to their clients,” said Scott Mullins, managing director of AWS Financial Services. 

The firm has also said that by leveraging AWS, LLM powered automation and insights for front-office workflows will be enabled, as well as analytics to provide opportunities for market and trading data mining. Integration of generative AI is also expected to be a further advantage.  

Additionally, the offering is set to provision complete environments in less than 15 minutes, and builds into smartTrade’s current roadmaps, such as powering advancements like its AI smart Copilot. 

“Building on AWS is about strategically positioning smartTrade to define the future of trading and payments technology,” said David Vincent, chief executive and co-founder of smartTrade Technologies.  

“Leveraging the advanced infrastructure and services of AWS allows us to accelerate our innovation roadmap, particularly with advancements like our AI smart Copilot and advanced analytics services.”
