An operating platform for DCM and Syndicate bankers, Bots streamlines pre-trade and client coverage workflows, replacing existing manual processes with a comprehensive cloud-based solution for increased productivity, better client coverage and an enhanced user experience.

Given the nature of the Bots platform, it’s no surprise that the founders of the business wanted a similarly efficient, flexible and innovative solution when it came to the issue of achieving and maintaining ISO 27001 compliance.
