Dubai- and Geneva-based private cloud provider Penta was selected as the WealthBriefing Editor\u2019s Choice and won the WealthBriefing GCC Award 2016 in the Technology Outsourcing Solution category.<\/p>\n
Showcasing \u2018best of breed\u2019 providers in the global private banking, wealth management and trusted advisor communities, the awards were designed to recognize companies, teams and individuals which the prestigious panel of judges deemed to have \u2018demonstrated innovation and excellence during 2016\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted to have won this prestigious award,\u201d said Penta CEO Farhad Khalilnia. \u201cIt is a great honour and a testament to the hard work and our determination to provide compliant, audited and secure cloud-based IT for the financial sector and other sensitive industries.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tom Burroughes, group editor at ClearView Financial Media writes: \u201cWith good geographic reach, a pipeline of innovative ideas and a clean bill of compliance health, Penta impressed in a crowded field for this type of businesses. Its provision of \u2018out-of-the-box\u2019 regulatory compliance solutions was seen as a real standout.\u201d<\/p>\n
ClearView Financial Media\u2019s Chief Executive, and Publisher of WealthBriefing Stephen Harris said: \u201cThe firms who triumphed in these awards are all worthy winners, and I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations. These awards were judged solely on the basis of entrants\u2019 submissions and their response to a number of specific questions, which had to be answered focusing on the client experience, not quantitative performance metrics. That is a unique, and I believe, compelling feature.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThese awards recognise the very best operators in the private client industry, with \u2018independence\u2019, \u2018integrity\u2019 and \u2018genuine insight\u2019 the watchwords of the judging process – such that the awards truly reflect excellence in wealth management,\u201d adds Harris.<\/p>\n
