Confluent,
Inc., the event streaming platform pioneer, today announced Morgan
Stanley has recognized the company as one of its exceptional technology
partners with a CTO Innovation Award in the software category at its 19th
TechWeek and CTO Innovation Summit in Palo Alto, California. Confluent
was named the winner in the software category for its Confluent®
Platform, which was a key enabler in helping Morgan Stanley make more
efficient use of its real-time event streaming data.
“Confluent has become a lynchpin to harness Apache Kafka®
for improved operational transparency and timely data-driven decisions,“
said Yunchi Nam, Head of Data Engineering and Distinguished Engineer at
Morgan Stanley. “We are delighted with the improvements we have seen in
the monitoring of our business flows, speeding up lending approvals, and
providing better and more timely fraud analytics, and look forward to
expanding services to leverage the platform to simplify, automate, and
drive business decisions.”
“Data is only as valuable as your ability to quickly act on it,” said
Jay Kreps, co-founder and CEO, Confluent. “That is why industry leaders
like Morgan Stanley are reimagining their businesses around real-time
event streaming platforms. With Confluent, companies can instantly place
data from any source into context so they can act and engage with
customers and win in the modern economy.”
Morgan Stanley’s TechWeek & CTO Innovation Summit is an annual forum
that unites technology and business leaders from the firm, its vendor
ecosystem and promising startups to discuss innovation, future products
and partnership opportunities. The CTO Innovation Awards honor
innovative technology solutions that materially contribute to Morgan
Stanley’s technology platform.
