BROOMFIELD, Colo. -- ColdSpark[TM] (www.coldspark.com), the leader in next-generation enterprise email infrastructure, today announced that it has received the Architecture Project of the Year award from The Banker, a Financial Times publication, for various deployments of the SparkEngine Mail Transport Platform. The Banker Technology Awards recognize innovation and success in financial services technology, highlighting solutions and products that have made an impact on the industry during the past year. ColdSpark was recognized for successfully replacing legacy email network systems at leading financial services organizations with a powerful, open platform for intelligent mail networking, the SparkEngine[TM] Mail Transport Platform.

"Because financial services organizations are among the most regulated enterprises in the world, particularly in regards to email, they require highly sophisticated messaging infrastructures that are flexible enough to accommodate current and future compliance, policy and security requirements," said Neil Tyler, The Banker editor. "ColdSpark's technology significantly improves messaging functionality and efficiency for financial services firms. We applaud ColdSpark's work with these firms."

ColdSpark's customers, which include the world's leading financial management and advisory companies, require an email platform that enables a broad array of services, enhances policy and compliance and supports state-of-the-art enterprise management to ensure optimum system operation. These organizations turn to ColdSpark to upgrade email backbone infrastructure across their entire organization with the SparkEngine.

The platform replaces multiple point products, legacy email delivery applications and stand-alone appliances with a unified framework for email networking, modernizing email operations to support today's requirements for security, compliance, business automation and performance.
