Leveraging Google Cloud, the TDSAT team has constructed a data-driven research platform that seamlessly scales alongside the business, supplying the technology required to process the large research workloads associated with TDSAT's data-driven approach to trading.
"TD is a true pioneer in embracing cloud technologies to reimagine the future of banking," says Matt Renner, President, Global Field Organization for Google Cloud. "Our multi-year strategic relationship with TD will leverage the power of Google Cloud's secure cloud infrastructure and world class engineering talent with the goal of driving new levels of agility, customer-centricity, and engineering innovation to more easily adapt and respond to the changing needs of TD customers."

" Google Cloud's capabilities have helped us grow TDSAT's trading volumes and portfolio size, and optimally serve our global clients.
