ASC and Global Relay Combine Communications Recording with Centralized, Compliant Archiving

Automated capture and archiving for trading floors and collaboration channels, delivered directly into Global Relay’s archiving, surveillance and eDiscovery platform

Hösbach - November 10, 2026 - ASC Technologies AG, a trusted provider of communications compliance solutions, and Global Relay, a leading provider of integrated digital communications and mobile compliance solutions for regulated industries, have entered into a strategic partnership. The collaboration combines ASC’s communications recording technology with Global Relay’s end-to-end communications monitoring platform to create an integrated solution for the recording and archiving of regulated communications.

Automated capture and archiving for trading floors and collaboration channels, delivered directly into Global Relay’s archiving, surveillance, and eDiscovery platform.

As part of the partnership, ASC provides secure and automated recording of regulated communications. The captured communications data is then transferred directly and automatically to Global Relay Archive. Global Relay provides the central environment for archiving, supervision, surveillance, and eDiscovery.

ASC supports a wide range of communications environments, including trading floor systems, leading unified communications, and contact center solutions. Depending on the specific system, voice, chat, video, screen sharing, and meetings can be captured. Global Relay structures communications within a compliant archive that enables search, classification, surveillance, and eDiscovery capabilities across a range of data types. Voice communications captured by ASC are transcribed and made searchable, supporting investigation and surveillance workflows.

A key focus is on specialized communications environments subject to regulatory requirements. ASC offers direct integrations for trader voice systems, such as BT Trader Voice, IPC, Cloud9, and Mitel, as well as Microsoft-certified compliance recording for Microsoft Teams. These integrations complement and expand Global Relay’s connector offering, giving firms the flexibility to choose the capture route that best suits their infrastructure while consolidating every record in a single archive.

The partnership creates a seamless integration between ASC’s communications recording capabilities and Global Relay’s existing communications monitoring platform, resulting in Global Relay Open Connector for ASC. Financial institutions can integrate various trading floor and collaboration channels while applying consistent archiving, supervision, and surveillance processes. The integration is designed to meet the stringent requirements of regulated organizations and their complex communications landscapes.

"Today, financial institutions must reliably integrate a wide variety of communications channels into their compliance processes. Through this partnership, we combine our expertise in recording regulated communications with Global Relay’s archival capabilities. This gives companies greater flexibility in their recording architecture without creating additional compliance silos." Dr. Gerald Kromer, CEO, ASC Technologies

"Our partnership with ASC enables financial institutions to seamlessly transfer voice recordings and chat conversations into Global Relay Archive, thereby creating a unified chain of custody across all communications channels." Anthony Crespy, SVP of Business, Global Relay

The partnership is aimed in particular at banks, brokers, wealth managers, asset managers, insurance companies, and other regulated firms with stringent requirements for the recording and retention of business communications.
