In that time the business has evolved from a provider solely of stock market information into a supplier of market news, front-office terminals, back-office settlement systems, and technical infrastructure, to its ever-growing number of clients.

Infocast’s ability to harness the latest developments in digital technology to meet its customer’s changing needs has been recognised in the 2015 Enterprising Hong Kong Awards with a nomination for the company in the Innovation Excellence Award category.

“Last year Infocast introduced the new InvesTrade all-in-one trading solution for brokerages,” he said. “It is the first one-stop shop solution enabling brokerages to establish their business operation. InvesTrade combines new technologies, such as cloud computing, with a traditional emphasis on stability and security to create a next-generation solution.

“In addition, InvesTrade also has an innovative ‘Agent Solution’, which uses the cloud to enable InvesTrade subscribers to leverage off each other to indirectly access different markets.
