As we continue to build on our extraordinary team of talented professionals and grow our customer base in the U.S., Europe and Asia, we are keenly aware of the important role our technology plays in our clients' operations. That means we're constantly enhancing the technology, adapting it to new markets and building new functionality to address evolving regulatory requirements."
