Product InnovationFDS showcased numerous GenAI-enabled products across firm types that are expected to fuel growth going forward.
Strategic AchievementsFDS highlighted several achievements in 4Q, including a notable competitive displacement, its first enterprise deal in the middle office for performance and managed services, and the sale of conversational API to a leading private wealth client, which FDS views as repeatable.
Bears Say
