Story Of Clearwater Analytics

Back in 2004, Clearwater Analytics was founded by David Boren, Michael Boren, and Douglas Bates. Before founding this company, these three co-founders established Clearwater Advisors, an institutional fixed-income investment advisor. After this advisor body was established, the three of them eventually landed on the concept of Clearwater Analytics. After the company was established in 2004, it eventually started expanding both in terms of its client diversity as well as geography. Clearwater Analytics has multiple offices in Europe and a few years back decided to invest heavily in the Indian market. For the impressive solutions offered by the company, it has received the Innovative Company of the Year award in 2012 from the Idaho Innovation Awards. 

By the end of 2013, the company entered into a partnership with Gardner Co. to help the company finance a nine-story building. The construction of this Clearwater building was completed after three years. In 2013, the company was also named Technology Firm of the Year by Captive Review. In 2019, the company received two awards in a row, Technology Firm of the Year at the Insurance Asset Management Awards and Best Software Solution at the UK & European Captive Review Awards, respectively. As the company has reported over $5.5 trillion in investment assets, it is clear that it has several high-profile clients. Some of them are J.P. Morgan Asset Management, Cisco, Oracle, and Facebook.
