Data Intellect becomes KX’s preferred delivery partner for its portfolio of surveillance solutions and brings to market its own KX-powered surveillance software.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[London, 1st July 2026] — Data Intellect and KX today announced an expanded strategic partnership designed to transform how capital markets firms deploy, scale, and optimise trade surveillance. As part of the agreement, Data Intellect becomes KX’s preferred delivery partner across its portfolio of surveillance solutions and brings to market Data Intellect Plasma, a highly customisable surveillance offering powered by KX.
The enhanced collaboration brings together KX’s high-performance surveillance suite with Data Intellect’s specialist engineering expertise and deep capital markets knowledge – delivering faster deployments, stronger performance, and surveillance systems designed to scale with rising data volumes and regulatory complexity. The joint effort supports highly customizable analytics that can be adapted to each firm’s data, workflows, and risk exposures.
Existing customers will benefit from tighter technical alignment between the two organisations, enabling optimised data pipelines, improved system performance, and more efficient expansion of surveillance coverage. The partnership also creates a direct feedback loop into the product roadmap, ensuring innovation is shaped by real-world operational and regulatory demands.
For new clients, Data Intellect Plasma provides a single, accountable partner for implementation, enabling firms to deploy Data Intellect Plasma aligned to their existing data environments, cloud strategy, and operational requirements. Backed by Data Intellect’s dedicated surveillance practice, firms can accelerate time to value, reduce risk, and operationalise surveillance with greater confidence.
As capital markets move toward more flexible, customisable architectures that give firms greater control over their data, deployment and evolution of surveillance capabilities in the era of AI, Data Intellect and KX are redefining how surveillance solutions are delivered, combining performance, adaptability, and deep domain expertise in one integrated solution.
[Steve Turner, CEO, Data Intellect] said:
“We see a significant growth opportunity in the Surveillance and Financial Crime market for solutions which address the changing and advancing business, regulatory and technology requirements. This expanded partnership allows Data Intellect to provide a complete client-based solution accelerating the time to value by enabling clients to realise the full value of their investment including AI enabled Surveillance”
[Ashok Reddy, CEO, KX] said:
“Surveillance is core to how KX serves capital markets, and Data Intellect’s engineering and domain expertise make them our preferred partner for delivering it. Whether firms adopt our surveillance solutions directly or through Data Intellect Plasma, they get the speed and scale of the KX platform with the engineering to operationalise it. In compliance, that matters most because every decision has to be one a firm can defend to a regulator: calculable, not probalistic.”
Together, Data Intellect and KX aim to set a new standard for delivering KX surveillance solutions to financial institutions — helping firms turn growing data complexity into a competitive advantage.
