Our take
The emergence of new digital communication technologies provides businesses with a great opportunity for growth. But regulated businesses need to ensure they carry out communications monitoring, archiving, and compliance to stay on the right side of regulators. This can be difficult to do with new tech - to the extent that some businesses are hesitant to adopt it at all.
Of course, there’s a substantial appetite for ways to get around this obstacle and therefore reap the business benefits of modern comms. Smarsh provides just that, with its suite of archive, storage, and monitoring tools. In the two decades since its founding, the platform has netted over 6,500 clients including top worldwide banks, brokerage firms, insurers, registered investment advisors, and state and local government agencies in the US.
This puts Smarsh in a formidable position going forward. The issue the company addresses is only getting more acute as the volume of communications increases, more tech is brought to market, and the hybrid work model pushes more communications online. Smarsh’s extensive, top-tier global reach will help it field this growing market opportunity.
