Cognito picks up cloud-based fintech brief

Lanware, a provider of cloud-based, outsourced tech for financial services firms, has hired Cognito to raise its profile in the fintech community.

Cognito is working with Lanware’s management team to build a strategic comms and thought-leadership programme. It aims to create a greater understanding of Lanware’s products, which include virtual desktops and cloud-based applications, and highlight its approach to placing security at the centre of every service.

Henry Duncombe, Lanware MD,  said: “When looking for a comms partner, we wanted to work with a team that is able to recognise the biggest issues the industry is faced with, such as the focus on cybersecurity, and Cognito fits the bill. Cognito’s fintech experience and exposure to the right influencers in the space means it is perfectly positioned to partner with us.”

Paul Bowhay, Cognito EMEA associate director, added: “We are witnessing some truly exciting companies come to the forefront of the financial services industry, disrupting the way it works, and in particular providing ways to cope with cybersecurity.

“The fintech space is a key focus for us globally, and we are thrilled to be extending our reach to another area of fintech with Lanware, adding to the roster of clients we work with who are already making waves in the market.”
