Cognito has been appointed by Lanware, a provider of cloud-based, outsourced technology solutions for financial services firms, to develop a communications strategy to raise awareness and increase its profile amongst the FinTech community.

Technology infrastructure and security, including cybersecurity, are challenges that financial services firms are turning their attention towards, whether it be an established organisation or up-and-coming startup. Lanware’s portfolio of services helps financial services companies tackle the evolution of technology and outsourcing the IT function to the cloud, providing firms with a secure and compliant single service available from anywhere.

Cognito is working with Lanware’s management team to build a strategic communications and thought-leadership programme that will drive greater understanding of its solutions and its unique approach to security at the centre of every service.

Henry Duncombe, Managing Director at Lanware, commented: “When looking for a communications partner, we wanted to work with a team that is able to recognise the biggest issues that the industry is faced with, such as the focus on cybersecurity, and Cognito fit the bill. Cognito’s FinTech experience and exposure to the right influencers in the space means that they are perfectly positioned to partner with us.”

“We are witnessing some truly exciting companies come to the forefront of the financial services industry, disrupting the way that 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 already making waves in the market”, added Paul Bowhay, Associate Director for Cognito EMEA.
