The company said its Enterprise Voice Services (EVS) uses IP telephony to increase its clients’ business continuity capabilities and operational efficiencies without affecting the performance and security features of traditional ring down services.
EVS is designed to present dedicated connections to multiple locations simultaneously in an effort to allow traders to reach their clients from various enterprise locations.
The product is initially being offered to IPC clients in the New York metro area, with plans to extend it in other global financial centers.
IPC said it is also introducing an IP interface for the trading system switch to extend IP from the network into the enterprise environment. Its eventual aim is to interconnect the cities via IP transport and create the first virtual trading community.
The enormous promise of IP for the trading floor is just now beginning to be realized, said Octavio Marenzi, CEO of Celent Communications. Advances such as IPC’s Enterprise Voice Services move us closer towards the goal of virtualized trading, where resources will be available as they are needed, where they are needed and will not require human intervention.
