14 | Acquisition International, Issue 12 2024 emarkably, the initial idea for the WTC dates all the way back to 1980, where plans were in place to create one central hub that could carry out the assessing, tracking, and archiving of the likes of financial and material values, market developments, and historical data accurately and on an international scale. When the first design was realised 13 years later in 1993, technology had improved considerably, and what followed was the beginning of a robust development phase, setting the platform up for the industry-leading status it enjoys today. By the time the end of 1996 rolled around, the WTC platform had been officially established and was well on the way to embodying the determination and dedication necessary to craft a software platform capable of allowing its users to work in an integrated and streamlined fashion, without limits. Since the day this operation officially went live more than 28 years ago, the core values of WTC have remained steadfast. Consisting of integrity, precision, and reliability, this trio laid the foundation for decades of prosperity and innovation. For Founder and CEO Riks Noorman: “Our values drive us to maintain a strong focus on data protection, client ownership, and objective analysis, allowing us to serve as a stable partner in an ever-evolving financial world.” At no point have these changes been felt more strongly than the past few years, which have been defined by both global economic uncertainty and escalating geopolitical tensions. Given this volatile environment, the stable resources offered by the WTC are more integral than ever, as they help clients respond to realtime challenges. With these unique insights and data-driven analysis capabilities to boot, the WTC allows its clients to take a proactive approach when it comes to reacting to the world around them, something reflected in the tremendous growth that it has experienced over the past 12 months. “The past year has been characterised by both challenges and growth”, explains Riks, “this thanks to the expansion of our client base across countries in Europe, as well as the bolstering of our presence in Indonesia and both North and South America.” This was just the tip of the iceberg for the WTC, which has also expanded into Australia, Canada, and the Middle East in 2024. This growth is driven by the rising demand from people across the world for an independent and secure platform that offers them both flexibility and in-depth financial analysis capabilities. Moreover, Riks tells us: “In the context of global economic turmoil, our adaptability has been crucial; we have continually refined our offerings to meet the diverse needs of our clients and have turned industry-related pressures into opportunities for enhanced support and reliable client relationships.” As Riks’ point suggests, the WTC is not only capable of staying ahead of the curve for its own sake, but also for that of its clients.
