Less than two months after Nasdaq Inc (NASDAQ:NDAQ) first unveiled its plans to sell its enterprise governance, risk and compliance (GRC) software platform BWise, the completion of the sale is confirmed.

In an announcement on its website posted today, Nasdaq says the sale of BWise to SAI Global, a recognized leader of integrated risk management solutions, was successfully completed.

As previously guided, the deal is in tune with Nasdaq’s strategy to maximize the company’s technology and analytics capabilities, while also investing to enhance its leading marketplaces and the capital market clients it serves. Terms of the deal were not made publicly available.

Nasdaq notes that it remains dedicated to providing corporate clients with successful access to the capital markets, accompanied by strategic C-Suite and board solutions that provide investor relations intelligence and governance insights and collaboration.
