IPC Partners with Open Lake Technology to transform communications compliance assurance in financial markets

April 30, 2025

 New York, London –  April 30, 2025 – IPC, a leading global provider of secure, compliant communications and multi-cloud connectivity solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Open Lake Technology (OLT), a specialist technology provider in compliance automation and telephony performance management. This collaboration addresses the increasingly complex challenges faced by financial organizations – and other industry verticals – ensuring regulatory compliance across complex communications infrastructures.  

Compliance in today’s financial markets is more demanding than ever, with institutions and organizations subject to strict regulatory standards and rigorous reporting obligations and the threat of legal and financial penalties, and reputational damage, for non-compliance.  The partnership integrates OLT’s digital technologies for centralizing, streamlining and automating compliance processes within IPC’s Unigy platform, accessible alongside – and interoperable with – other IPC and partner technology solutions. 

By integrating OLT solutions within IPC’s Unigy voice communications ecosystem, customers benefit from a centralized platform that assures communications compliance, drives cost efficiencies, enhances system performance and streamlines operational workflows. 

OLT’s Compliance Automation Process (CAP) automates regulatory verification processes in near real-time, identifying and helping to resolve gaps in call recording, ensuring quality, accuracy, and completeness of voice recordings, meta data, data retention and compliant reporting, and improving audit readiness.  

OLT’s Trade Floor Systems Check (TFSC) offers a real-time, automated solution that ensures all critical systems including trading terminals, soft clients, voice recording systems, network connectivity, and external connectivity are fully operational and performing to internal technical standards.   

The collaboration underscores the value of digital transformation in compliance workflows. Real-time monitoring, detailed reporting, and customizable dashboards empower businesses with data-driven insights to address technical incidents swiftly, optimize telephony usage, and maintain compliance across all communication systems.   

“Financial institutions are under immense pressure to meet regulatory demands while optimizing operational efficiency. This partnership exemplifies the shared commitment of IPC and OLT to support businesses in building resilient, future-ready infrastructures that integrate compliance with overall performance management. Bringing OLT’s state-of-the-art automation and monitoring capabilities within our global communications technology environment enables our customers to more easily streamline communications compliance activities and meet regulatory reporting obligations with confidence,” said Colin Allison, Compliance Product Manage at IPC. 

 “Open Lake Technology is pleased to collaborate with IPC, a global leader in communications technology innovation, to provide financial market participants with the tools needed to navigate today’s complex regulatory compliance landscape. Our solutions assure compliance and also drive greater operational performance, complementing IPC’s extensive communications technology solutions and services,” said Open Lake Technology.
