Waters Technology Global Rankings 2026

CRT has been invited by Waters Technology — part of Infopro Digital Services Limited — to participate in the Global Rankings 2026 in the Best Data Management category.

The Waters Technology Global Rankings are among the most respected industry benchmarks in capital markets technology. Published annually by Infopro Digital, they evaluate vendors across categories including trading infrastructure, risk management, data management, and regulatory technology. An invitation to participate signals that a vendor has achieved sufficient market presence and technological maturity to be evaluated alongside the industry's leading providers.

Why Best Data Management

Data management sits at the core of CORA's value proposition. The platform processes over 450,000 data points from 215,000+ supervised entities across 12+ regulatory authorities, transforming raw supervisory data into structured, governed, analytics-ready intelligence.

CORA's data management capabilities span the full information lifecycle:

• Master data management — a single, authoritative registry of supervised entities, persons, and relationships
• Automated data ingestion and validation — structured and unstructured submissions processed with machine-validated accuracy
• Data warehouse mapping and governance — centralized data dictionary with BI annotation for analytics-ready output
• Define Once, Report Once — eliminating redundant data collection across supervisory functions

These capabilities directly address the core criteria that Waters Technology evaluates in the Best Data Management category: data quality, governance, scalability, and the ability to derive actionable intelligence from complex datasets.

Continuity with Central Banking Award 2019

This recognition builds on CRT's track record in data management excellence. In 2019, the Central Banking Best Data Management Initiative Award recognized the BSP Philippines project — delivered by CRT — for transforming regulatory data collection and reporting.

The Waters Technology invitation represents a natural progression: from a project-level recognition for a single regulator to evaluation at the global capital markets technology level.

What This Means for Regulators

For regulatory authorities evaluating supervisory technology platforms, the Waters Technology Global Rankings provide an independent, industry-recognized framework for vendor assessment. CRT's inclusion in the Best Data Management category offers regulators:

• Third-party validation of CORA's data management capabilities by an independent industry authority
• Benchmarking context — understanding how CORA's data capabilities compare within the broader capital markets technology landscape
• Confidence in vendor maturity — Waters Technology's evaluation process considers market presence, client adoption, and technological depth

As financial supervision increasingly depends on the quality and governance of underlying data, the distinction between platforms that manage data adequately and those that excel at it becomes a critical differentiator for regulatory outcomes.
