Says Institutional Investor: In 2001 the Waltham, Massachusetts, company produced its first wireless software for buy-side firms. Today mobile access is mainstream; more than 200 financial companies, including 28 of the 50 biggest global asset managers, use Pyxis applications for customer relationship management, portfolio management, trading and compliance. Pyxis' priorities parallel those of any technology provider or user dealing with floods of financial information, says Christy, 38. "Independent agents, advisers and interdealer brokers require more real-time access to proprietary data, for both reading and writing," he notes. "We focused on that from day one." Coming next, says Christy, are "broader initiatives (that) include more transactional capabilities" and "more richness" of data to be delivered on the Apple iPhone and BlackBerry Bold.

"Pyxis Mobile pioneered data and business process mobility for the Financial Services industry in 2002. We've made major strides forward in features and usability over the last few years, leveraging the continuous advances of mobile devices, cellular networks, and wireless security. Our focus remains squarely on providing intuitive applications that drive top-line growth," says Todd Christy, President and CTO of Pyxis Mobile. "This award reflects our commitment to the Financial Services industry."
