26.7.2023 11:25:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
FlexTrade Systems, a global leader in multi-asset execution and order management systems, today announced that European execution platform leader, Amundi Intermédiation, has selected FlexTRADER EMS to consolidate all asset classes traded onto a single, scalable, multi-asset EMS platform. Amundi Intermédiation, the execution business subsidiary of Amundi Asset Management, additionally acts as an outsourced execution provider for Asset Managers, Private Banking, and Insurance companies, which globally executes approximately €5 trillion across all asset classes for around 60 clients.
Consolidation of front office technology and automation initiatives are currently in sharp focus for global buy-side institutions to streamline and optimize execution workflows in equities and extend the efficiencies to other asset classes, including fixed income.
FlexTrade’s FlexTRADER EMS solution will be deployed as Amundi Intermédiation’s global, centralized EMS platform to deliver cross-asset trading capabilities to over 60 dealers within its international investment hubs across trading desks in Paris, Dublin, Singapore and Tokyo. The move is designed to deliver dealers a common, robust set of tools and processes to handle cross-asset trading and execution efficiently.
Further, by deploying FlexTRADER EMS, Amundi Intermédiation’s dealing teams will benefit from sophisticated automation tools to streamline order and workflow management through FlexAlgowheel across all asset classes, enabling the firm to scale up its trading volumes alongside business growth efficiently.
With the move to deploy FlexTRADER EMS, Amundi Intermédiation will use FlexTrade’s unique fixed-income capabilities to bring more automation and electronification to their bond executing operations. Amundi Intermédiation will replace existing multi-platform processes through a single fixed-income EMS and deliver an aggregated view of the market and bilateral connectivity to liquidity providers. Further, using FlexTrade’s Fixed Income Smart Order Router (FISOR), its bond dealers can enrich their automation capabilities using consolidated pre-trade data to ensure best execution.
The project will be delivered in multiple phases, with equities and derivatives now live and in production across Amundi Intermédiation’s global trading desks. Fixed income will be deployed by the end of the year 2023.
Andy Mahoney, Managing Director, EMEA at FlexTrade, noted: “We are delighted to welcome Europe’s largest execution platform to FlexTrade. Proactively choosing to consolidate onto a single platform is a strategic vision to ensure Amundi Intermédiation’s execution operations have the core trading technology platform its businesses need to deliver the best outcomes to its clients. Notably, Amundi Intermédiation will also leverage our fixed-income capabilities, further validating the growing trend in the market to electronify bond trading activities.”

TEC reduces pressure on support teams with proactive outage communications powered by Adtran and GOCare11.8.2026 15:15:00 EEST | Press release
Adtran and GOCare today announced that Telephone Electronics Corporation (TEC) has improved outage responses and reduced inbound support tickets using GOCare’s OutageIQ solution integrated with Adtran’s outage notification API and Mosaic One. Serving communities across Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, TEC delivers fiber broadband services built on a foundation of community investment and reliable service.

Kinaxis-Sponsored Study Identifies Supply Chain AI Accountability Gap Amidst Rapid Adoption Expectations11.8.2026 15:07:00 EEST | Press release
Kinaxis® (TSX:KXS), a global leader in supply chain orchestration, today announced the findings of new independent research from IDC. The IDC InfoBrief, sponsored by Kinaxis, “Making Supply Chain AI Accountable,” reveals a growing chasm between organizations’ aggressive ambitions for autonomous AI adoption and their readiness to hold these advanced systems - which we believe underscores the need for a disciplined approach to AI investment and deployment to prevent costly failures and deliver measurable business value. What This Means for Supply Chain Leaders The IDC InfoBrief, which surveyed more than 2,000 supply chain leaders across nine global markets, found that while AI adoption is nearly universal - only 2% of respondents report no AI-enabled capabilities, and just 12% consider themselves AI leaders. Over half (52%) cite trust in AI-driven decisions as a top barrier to faster adoption, and just 12% say AI planning governance is fully embedded within their operations. The research
One in Four Executives Say AI Errors Have Reached External Audiences or Boards, According to New Research From Workiva11.8.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Workiva Inc. (NYSE: WK), a leading, audit-ready platform for trust, transparency, and accountability, today released findings from its 2026 Midyear Executive Benchmark Survey. Although 84% of surveyed executives say they are at least somewhat confident in the accuracy of AI output without human review, one in four (26%) say internal audits have detected AI errors that reached external audiences or board members. This data suggests there is a disconnect between what executives believe and what evidence shows. As AI reshapes the enterprise at unprecedented speed, a new risk is emerging: transformation could be outpacing the instincts of the leaders tasked with overseeing it. "Confidence in AI without control over data quality is a liability, not a strategy. CFOs need platforms that connect AI to trusted, auditable data so every output is one they can verify and every disclosure is one they can defend," said Barbara Larson, Chief Financial Officer at Workiva. "Getting this right is about
