GTech’s innovative technology solutions stand out
The Gold Stevie® Award in the API Management Solution category went to Symphony Labs, the world’s first service orchestration platform with a GenAI architecture. Embedding generative AI capabilities directly into its platform architecture, Symphony Labs allows businesses to quickly and securely connect their existing systems and infrastructure with next-generation digital services. Managing complex integration and service orchestration processes through a single platform, the solution uses GenAI capabilities to accelerate development processes, enabling businesses to roll out digital services more agilely, efficiently, and at scale.

Using advanced AI forecasting algorithms, the project enabled more effective management of in-flight catering processes through data-driven decision-making, boosting operational efficiency and improving the customer experience.
Built on native AI architecture as part of GTech’s next-generation product family, Symphony Lending stands out for digitalizing financing processes end to end and supporting them with intelligent decision-making mechanisms.

Reflecting GTech’s approach of directly embedding generative AI into the core architecture of banking technologies, the project “Shaping the Future of Banking in the Age of AI: From Traditional Systems to Autonomous Banking” was awarded the Bronze Stevie® Award in the Achievement in Product Innovation category. Moving GenAI beyond being an add-on feature bolted onto existing systems and turning it into one of the platform’s core capabilities, the project embodies GTech’s technology vision of enabling the transformation of traditional, manual banking infrastructure into a learning, intelligent, and increasingly autonomous new generation of banking platforms.
