One of Australia's big four banks, The National Australia Bank has
contracted IPC to implement an IP-based solution for its new Treasury
division on a new dealing floor in Brisbane, Queensland.
IPC claims to have pioneered the use of VoIP on the trading floor in 2001 and is still
the only provider to have clients trading live via IP.
The solution will comprise both the back end infrastructure and the
desktop unified communications environment. The new Brisbane dealing
room will be equipped with IPC's IQMX.
Brisbane is one of only a handful of dealing rooms worldwide that is
running a fully integrated IP solution, not just on the trading floor,
but firm-wide. The IQMX consoles consist of four modules; a Control
Module, an Applications Module, a Button Module and a Speaker Module.
The application module integrates a video-quality interactive
touchscreen.
The IQMX desktop devices run off a switch installed in Sydney over the bank's internal network.
Mark Adams, Head of Corporate and Institutional Sales, National Australia Bank said, "IP
is a proven technology that refines everyday functions on the trading
floor, allowing National Australia Bank to offer our clients enhanced
trading services. IPC's industry experience and IP expertise makes them
the clear choice to help us apply technology to strengthen operations,
grow our business and remain competitive."
"In today's highly competitive trading environment, 100% reliable
trading floor solutions are not a luxury but a necessity," said Stephen
Phillips, Managing Director of Global Sales, IPC. "IPC's
reputation as an innovator, combined with unrivalled quality and
reliability helps us create a sustainable advantage for our clients in
the marketplace. We are proud to be the trading systems partner of
choice for National Australia Bank."
The solution is backed by 24x7x365 on-site technical support.
