Linx Networks has formed a partnership with Wordwatch to transform the way regulated industries manage and archive their communications data.
The collaboration is designed to help regulated financial institutions and other sectors replace outdated and fragmented communications systems with a unified, future-proof compliance archiving platform.
Linx Networks delivers trusted trade floor solutions to financial institutions, providing resilient and secure infrastructure tailored to client needs. Wordwatch, meanwhile, is an award-winning compliance platform that serves regulated organisations worldwide, offering tamper-proof recordkeeping and regulator-ready data governance.
The partnership equips Linx Networks with the ability to deliver a single, centralised repository for all regulated communications. The platform consolidates live and legacy recordings, maintains original formats with full metadata, and ensures a complete chain of custody. It also supports flexible deployment models, including cloud, hybrid, and on-premise, without vendor lock-in.
For organisations facing the end-of-life of prominent recording systems such as NICE NTR and Red Box Quantify, the partnership provides a seamless migration path. This allows firms to decommission legacy environments, cut unnecessary costs, and strengthen compliance. Clients benefit from reduced risk, improved search and retrieval of records, and guaranteed long-term accessibility of their data.
The alliance also addresses growing regulatory pressures, where communications archiving is now viewed as a compliance-critical process rather than simple storage. By simplifying complex and siloed systems, the solution helps firms stay audit-ready and aligned with frameworks such as ESMA and MiFID II.
Linx Networks vice president of global sales Phil Vaughan said, “By partnering with Wordwatch, we can offer our clients a best-in-class solution for communications compliance that keeps them audit-ready. Wordwatch stands apart as the only platform that migrates recordings without manipulating data — ensuring full compliance with ESMA, MiFID II and other regulations that demand authenticity and the unchanged reproduction of stored information. This means our clients benefit from a complete chain of custody, enterprise-grade scalability, and open APIs to securely manage their recorded data. It’s about getting legacy systems out of the server room for good, whilst guaranteeing access to regulator-ready data for as long as the client needs.”
Wordwatch managing director William Davenport said: “We’re delighted to welcome Linx Networks to the Wordwatch partner network. Legacy recording systems create unnecessary compliance risk, complexity and cost. The priority for regulated firms should be future-ready compliance environments. Through this partnership, Linx Networks can help clients retire ageing infrastructure, implement a secure and evergreen communications archive that adapts to changing regulation, and gain complete control over their communications data — turning compliance from a burden into a business advantage.”
