NEW YORK, July 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dow Jones today announced that its Data, News & Analytics (DNA) platform has received the 2017 Google Cloud Partner Award for Innovative Solution in Financial Services & Insurance. This year’s award was presented at the Google Cloud Next Partner Summit in San Francisco, an event that showcases Google Cloud partners spanning G Suite, GCP, Maps, Devices, and Education.

Dow Jones DNA was recognized for using Google Cloud to unlock the power of premium, machine-readable content for advanced analytics and data-driven decision making.

Built on Google Cloud Platform, DNA allows customers and partners to integrate content from 8,600 trusted sources directly into their own AI-based products and workflows — powering use cases ranging from investment signal and risk detection through to the identification of new business opportunities. DNA’s APIs allow customers to extract and stream content encoded with Dow Jones’s proprietary taxonomy, Dow Jones Intelligent Identifiers.

“Our vision is to provide access to our data and data services wherever our customers are. That is the reason we created Dow Jones DNA, and why we chose to build it on Google Cloud Platform,” said Niranjan Thomas, General Manager, DNA Platform & Technology Partnerships, Dow Jones. “The real value of DNA lies in the combination of fully licensed, trusted news and data and the power of cloud-based technology, giving customers in the financial services sector and beyond the opportunity to use and integrate data for better decision making.”

“Our partners are fundamental to providing a great product to customers, particularly as demand for Google Cloud innovations grows,” said Nan Boden, Head of Global Technology Partners at Google Cloud. “We are proud to provide this recognition to Dow Jones, whose DNA platform helps to meet customer demands and empower them to succeed in the era of the cloud. We’re delighted to continue building together with Dow Jones on behalf of customers.”
