It is with great pleasure that we announce that our client Bank of America Merrill Lynch collected the Best Infrastructure Initiative award at the annual American Financial Technology Awards (AFTAs) held in New York last week. The award, which focuses on global infrastructure deployments for wholesale investment banking environments for the buy and sell sides, is significant recognition of the innovative optimisation work Bank of America Merrill Lynch has carried out across its trading infrastructure. In making their decision, the judges looked for innovative strategies that delivered basic infrastructure support across the enterprise, reduced support costs and improved delivery time of necessary resources to local clients. From all of us at Sumerian, we would like to extend our congratulations to the IT team and wish you continued success throughout 2011. > Read the full article from Waters Technology > Find out more about Bank of America Merrill Lynch
