Within the industry, Aquis is regarded as an excellent choice of technology vendor – not just for its leading matching engine and frequent product innovation, but also for always going above and beyond in the service and solutions that the team provides to their clients.

While consulting I conducted extensive research for a search and selection and selected Aquis to provide a genuine 24x7 capability for a Singapore-based digital exchange. In a manner akin to the great Victor Kiam, I liked the product so much I joined the company! I am looking forward to progressing a strong existing sales pipeline and to working with such a great team.”
