State Street’s IT team "was recognized by Waters magazine at the American Financial Technology Awards, by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT and Computing Magazine at the UK IT Industry Awards," according to State Street officials.

At State Street, our approach to IT includes implementing new technologies to develop and deploy new products.”
At the recent 2010 American Financial Technology Awards in New York, State Street took top rankings in two categories, Best IT Team and Best Data Center Initiative. The sixth annual AFTA event is hosted by Waters magazine, and recognizes financial companies for "industry excellence and innovation in the deployment and management of financial information technology."
