London, United Kingdom - News Direct - 31 May 2023 - Over 300 financial and technology leaders met at Symphony’s Innovate 2023 in London last week to review the latest innovations in compliance-enabling communications, AI and NLP models and the evolution of trader voice capabilities.

For the first time, the company showcased live the capabilities of its natural language processing and business insights platform Amenity Analytics - acquired in November 2022 as part of its commitment to deliver AI-powered products as well as support ESG needs in financial services, as Symphony expects to become the secure AI platform for global finance. A large language model and Amenity’s ESG Insights platform were used to create a proof of concept for a customizable ESG summarization bot in Symphony. When queried, the bot provided accurate, timely and actionable data driven insights. Customer 22V joined the Symphony stage to share the firm’s research use case. Video.

The company showed the evolution of its trader voice proposition, including a Cloud9 integration with Zoom Phone as well as capabilities that allow customers to move to a cloud-based on demand model, unlocking instant intra and cross firm connectivity and flexibility. Video.

Symphony also presented the latest in its compliant messaging offering, with improved capabilities to accelerate client engagement in a compliance-enabling manner. End users can now seamlessly onboard their clients on their mobile device using a dedicated number through the Symphony application. Audio recording and AI-powered conversation summary functionality enable high-touch client communication without sacrificing compliance. LINE, one of Asia's most popular messaging platforms, was announced as a new addition to Symphony’s federated solutions alongside WhatsApp, WeChat, and SMS. Video.
