“UST is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable firms focused on digital transformation in the banking and financial services industry. We are honored to be teaming with UST to deploy the Boardwalk Velocity and Unity Central solutions with a focus on process execution improvement, analytics, risk and compliance for large global financial instutiutions, private equity firms, and hedge funds, ” said Andrew T. Duncan, CEO of Boardwalktech.

“We are thrilled to partner with Boardwalktech to provide comprehensive end-to-end professional services and focus on joint go-to-market solutions that create value for our clients. UST seeks to collaborate with visionary leaders like Boardwalktech to forge collective transformative strategies and solutions that empower clients to overcome pressing business challenges. At a time when regulatory scrutiny is increasing and more stringent compliance measures are being implemented, UST is helping firms navigate these uncertainties by adopting cutting-edge technologies such as digital ledgers as well as adopting partnerships that help improve controls by providing real-time monitoring and also strengthen compliance across the entire enterprise,” said Maureen Doyle-Spare, Head of Banking & Financial Services, UST. 

According to IT partners and financial services customers using Velcoity, they have reported a 10x superior perfomance (in terms of time to deploy and cost to remdiate mid and highly complex EUCs) versus alternative software soltuions currently available in the market.  Poorly integrated and non-compliant EUCs pose a massive risk managment and compliance issue for banks.  Financial institutions utilize thousands of Excel and Access based EUC’s for financial and performance models along with reporting trackers that must be transformed into an environment to mitigate and manage captial risk, while being compliant with OCC and Dodd-Frank risk modeling requirements. By leveraging Velocity’s unique data architecture, financial institutions can rapidly transformed these EUCs can be onto a compliant  managed database platform. These tranformations can be completed faster than with minimal impact to the end users day-to-day operations, all while preserving user reliance on the Excel experience and their existing EUCs. 

Velocity has an innovative and patented capability to convert Excel data and models into a a full three-tier application stack by absorbing the Excel data/model. Velocity then allows the end user to interact with the data using an innovative “Excel Browser” feature. This feature ensures secure data access by dynamically downloading access-controlled data upon authentication, then wipes the data clean from Excel memory upon closing the file, thus eliminating the security risk associated with Excel. Velocity supports cell, row, column, grid, and workbook-level auditability. It can also capture the auditability of approvals and workflow notifications. These improved auditability, operational and governance features allows financial services firms and banks to continue to use Excel while moving these EUC’s into a compliant secure auditable environment.

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Environmental sensor manufacturer NIDS Co., Ltd. has confirmed its participation in CES 2027 and is moving to expand its global business-to-business (B2B) supply chain. Building on its experience supplying sensors to domestic and international home appliance and automotive companies, the company aims to secure overseas customers and extend its applications into smart building HVAC and robotics.

NIDS recently participated in the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association’s Sensor Pavilion at SEDEX 2026, held at COEX in Seoul, where it introduced its next-generation sensor modules. The company said the exhibition allowed it to raise awareness of its technology among domestic home appliance and electronic component industry professionals and to lay the groundwork for collaboration in the sensor field.

The company will use CES 2027 as its next stage. NIDS plans to firm up discussions on sensor module supply with global home appliance makers, HVAC specialists, and robotics companies. It aims to extend the industry contacts gained at the domestic exhibition overseas and to convert product introductions into actual supply opportunities.

Founded in 2000, NIDS develops and manufactures environmental sensors and air quality management solutions. According to the company, it has supplied more than 10 million sensors cumulatively to domestic and international companies, including Dyson, Samsung Electronics, and Hyundai Motor. Drawing on this supply track record, the company intends to showcase its precision sensing technology and mass-production capabilities to overseas customers.

Its main products include particulate matter sensors, optical gas sensors based on non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology, composite environmental sensors, and electronic nose sensor modules. The particulate matter sensors measure PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10, while the gas sensor lineup targets carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and other gases. The electronic nose is used for detecting everyday odors, gas leaks, and fires. The company said it designs the core components required for air quality measurement in-house and has a system in place to mass-produce 5 million units annually.

The area where NIDS will expand development and supply going forward is next-generation composite sensor modules. The company has been pursuing a sensor business that responds to industry-specific demand in home appliances, automotive, and smart building HVAC, and is now concentrating its capabilities on markets such as robotics, industrial safety, and odor detection based on this technology. Building on its experience supplying individual components, NIDS plans to continue developing and supplying, on a B2B basis, modules that handle multiple types of environmental data.

The company will also highlight its sensor product lineup and its newly developed ultra-compact MEMS sensor technology at the exhibition. NIDS plans to introduce its optical and gas sensor lineup along with examples of their application in actual air quality management systems. By explaining both the measurement functions of its components and its experience operating sensors for finished-product services, the company aims to broaden the scope of partnership discussions.

NIDS explained that, because it owns its precision sensors, it can control sensor sensitivity and tune algorithms to suit the system in which they are applied. Drawing on this technical operating experience, the company plans to pursue partnerships with customers and to promote its business capabilities extending from sensor components to air quality and odor management and industrial safety management.

NIDS will also leverage its existing branch network in its overseas market development. Through its overseas bases in the United States, Japan, and China, the company plans to widen its touchpoints with buyers and seek new supply opportunities in conjunction with its CES participation. Its goal is to generate export results by combining exhibition participation with its local networks.

The company intends to keep expanding the global supply of sensor components as a core pillar of its business. Building on the supply experience accumulated in home appliances and automotive, it will broaden its partners to robotics, HVAC, and smart buildings, and respond to industry-specific air quality measurement demand through the development of next-generation modules.
