NICE (Nasdaq:NICE) today announced that the NICE Trading Recording solution has been certified to support Skype for Business Server, Microsoft’s next generation unified communications software. The certification ensures that financial institutions can now use the same reliable, secure and scalable recording platform used in their trading floors for the back office. NICE Trading Recording has the ability to capture all voice interactions across different channels, such as front-end, back office and mobile phones, to help ensure regulatory compliance.

With this new certification, Microsoft and NICE continue to strengthen their long-standing partnership, while extending NICE’s existing broad reach in the financial compliance market.
