Best Sell-Side Technology Provider, 2020

First Published: WatersTechnology/July 2020

By winning the best sell-side technology provider category in these awards, IPC Systems has finally followed up its phenomenal run of form in the annual Waters Rankings where it has won the best trading floor communications system provider category for 14 straight years. This year, the Jersey City-based infrastructure and communications specialist featured prominently in the best infrastructure provider and best sell-side trading network categories without emerging victorious in either, although it did win the best sell-side trading communication system award, which it also won back in 2018.

The bulk of IPC’s awards success has come on the back of its Unigy platform, a unified communication and application offering, although it has also enjoyed considerable success with its Connexus family of products. It goes without saying that all technology and service providers have had to deal with the recent uncertainty, stressed systems and delivering solutions through a range of mediums to a widely dispersed user community, while at the same time managing their own employees’ needs, especially in the early days of Covid-19 pandemic.

According to Dave Brown, COO of IPC, his firm was able to maintain the breadth and depth of its products and their functionality, even during the period of rapid change in February and March this year.

Brown explains that IPC was able to maintain its “integrity” at clients’ primary locations, because, he says, clients typically employed a multi-tasking approach to dealing with the crisis— they had workers who remained at their usual locations, but they also had employees who went to BCP sites, while the majority worked from home.

“That’s the first time we’ve ever seen that done at such scale within the industry and I’m pleased to say that both Unigy and IPC coped with it successfully,” he says.

By winning the final category of this year’s SST Awards, IPC joins former winners SunGard (2013), Markit (2014), Bloomberg (2015), SmartStream (2016), IHS Markit (2017), SIX (2018) and Numerix (2019) as a recipient of this award.

Best Sell-Side Trading Communication System

First Published: WatersTechnology/July 2020

Jersey City-based IPC Systems wins this year’s best sell-side trading communication system category thanks to its unified communication and application platform, Unigy. To those who have followed these and WatersTechnology’s other awards programs over the years, this result will come as no surprise: A cursory glance at the annual Waters Rankings shows that IPC has a string of 14 consecutive wins in the best trading floor communications system provider category, a record that no other technology vendor can come close to matching.

All that success is down to Unigy, a platform designed to record, archive and monitor sell-side firms’ trading and communication activities to ensure employees comply with global regulatory mandates. For an industry currently in a state of flux that has experienced unparalleled volatility over the course of the last six months, together with record trade volumes and steadily increasing quantities of voice and electronic communication, a platform with the scalability and functionality to accurately monitor all communication for suspicious behavior is essential.

According to Dave Brown, COO of IPC, the firm experienced a significant spike in communication volumes in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, not only because of increased volatility leading to a surge in trading activity, but also due to firms’ staff members being scattered across multiple locations.

“We saw a huge increase in trade volumes with a renewed emphasis on voice communications,” he says. “We actually saw people moving away from electronic trading platforms and reverting to voice execution, particularly when the markets were very volatile, and we saw a significant increase in activity, both on the platform and on the network.”

Brown explains that IPC has a number of pivotal initiatives that it is currently working on, key among which is what he describes as an “API-first approach,” which will ultimately open up Unigy to other third-party providers and applications, and by so doing provide its 140,000 users with deeper, richer functionality.

“We’ve made a big strategic shift over the past several years towards a broader and more open platform-based strategy,” he says. “We’ve embraced an API first approach and are working with best-of-breed strategic partners to bring greater capabilities to our clients. We’ve also invested time in things like real-time audio gateways to allow customers to leverage third parties’ or our own transcription engine, as well as delivering enhanced monitoring and surveillance capabilities, though many of these initiatives predated the current Covid-19 environment.”

IPC’s Connexus Cloud Ecosystem Continues Expansion with Linkage to London Metal Exchange

LONDON – July 1, 2020 – IPC, a leading global provider of secure, compliant communications and networking solutions for the global financial markets community, announced today its expansion into the London Metal Exchange (LME), the world center for industrial metals trading. IPC’s global customer ecosystem utilizes its flagship Connexus Cloud platform for trade execution, order routing, market data delivery, and accessing vital marketplaces like LME that serve as a global reference for prices.

“The LME is incredibly valuable to investors,” said Chris McQuade, Vice President Network Operations EMEA, IPC. “It’s the perfect hedging venue, and we at IPC are thrilled to be able to offer our customers instant access to what is truly one of the most important markets in the world.”

Most of the world’s non-ferrous metals business is conducted on the LME’s three trading platforms: LMEselect (electronic), the Ring (open outcry) and the 24-hour telephone market. In 2019, 176 million lots were traded at the LME equating to $13.5 trillion. Trading on the LME often exceeds world metal production by a factor of 40.

IPC’s Connexus Cloud is an unparalleled multi-cloud platform for the global financial markets, an ecosystem that interconnects more than 6,600 diverse capital market participants across 750 cities in over 60 countries.

IPC Wins Two Waters Sell-Side Technology Awards, Including Prestigious ‘Best Sell-Side Technology Provider’

NEW YORK, June 29, 2020 – IPC, a leading global provider of secure, compliant communications and networking solutions for the global financial markets, is privileged to announce today that it has won two categories in the Waters Sell Side Technology Awards 2020. IPC was named “Best Sell-Side Technology Provider,” the most prestigious category of this year’s awards. Additionally, the company’s flagship trading communications platform, Unigy, was named “Best Sell-Side Trading Communication System.”

“To be selected the Sell-Side Technology Provider of the Year out of the top and most respected names in financial technology is a tremendous honor,” said Bob Santella, Chief Executive Officer, IPC. “This award speaks to our company-wide dedication to customer satisfaction at every level. I’m also very proud that IPC’s Unigy was recognized for its vital role in financial institutions’ resilience under stressed market conditions.”

IPC and Digital Reasoning Announce Global Strategic Partnership to Deliver Most Advanced Voice Surveillance for Financial Services

NEW YORK and LONDON – June 23, 2020 – IPC, a leading global provider of secure, compliant communications and networking solutions for the financial markets community, today announced a strategic partnership with Digital Reasoning, the global leader in artificial intelligence solutions that understand human communications and behaviors. The strategic partnership will allow financial institutions to analyze all of their voice surveillance data to identify regulatory risks faster so they can take action sooner.

“We are always focused on delivering extraordinary value and an exceptional experience for our customers,” said Bob Santella, Chief Executive Officer, IPC. “To that end, we are excited to partner with Digital Reasoning so we can leverage their proven, cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies that will enable our customers to analyze all their voice surveillance data, better protect their reputations and reduce overall risk.”

Although voice currently has the lowest surveillance coverage, it has the highest levels of regulatory violations. Poor speech recognition and low-quality alerts along with hardware issues and expensive reviews forced banks to randomly sample their voice communications. Often, as little as 5% of calls were actually monitored. As a result, there was a significant increase in risk exposure and financial institutions were not aware of activities that would subsequently result in steep fines.

With 6,600+ connected locations in over 750 cities in more than 60 countries, IPC operates one of the world’s largest financial ecosystems and cloud-enabled communities. Now, through this global strategic partnership, financial institutions everywhere will be able to monitor and analyze all of the voice data, identify risks much faster, and have the assurance that they are reducing their regulatory exposure and holding their employees to the highest standards of conduct.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to partner with an industry leader like IPC. They are recognized and respected by financial institutions around the world for their award-winning trading communications platform, and they are uniquely positioned to advance voice surveillance,” said Tim Estes, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Digital Reasoning. “The combination of IPC’s multi-cloud financial ecosystem and our intelligent software, which analyzes human communications at scale, results in financial institutions being able to cost-effectively monitor voice communications and lower their risk exposure.”

What’s Next For Blockchain?

First Published: Finance Monthly / June 2020

Blockchain has come a long way in the past 12 months, with an increase of blockchain start-ups and new infrastructure projects that have resulted in a spike of real-life deployments. All of this is showing blockchain’s true value to the financial industry, as well as the wider global community.

So why did blockchain adoption take so long compared to other new technologies such as cloud and AI? The slow adoption in highly regulated, complex markets such as the financial services industry shouldn’t come as a surprise. Blockchain is suited for complex, collaborative, multi-party, and critical application use-cases. This is another big reason why blockchain adoption has taken much longer than some predicted, as Rob Coole, VP of Cloud Technologies at IPC, explains below.

Next-generation blockchain

Next-generation blockchain organisations are leading the way showing how the technology can be used intelligently for the world we live in today. For example, R3, an enterprise software company, is working with an ecosystem of over 200 financial institutions, regulators, trade associations, professional services and technology companies to develop Corda, a Blockchain platform designed specifically for businesses to deliver two interoperable and fully compatible distributions of the platform that addresses issues such as transactional certainty, data privacy, and scalability limitations.

Gartner predicts that blockchain will be fully scalable by 2023. IPC’s sense of the future of blockchain, particularly in the enterprise space, is just as positive. We are seeing customers truly learning about the practical reasons to deploy, leading to more investment in time and money in blockchain.

Importance of complementary partnerships

Both application service providers and subscribers should partner with service and product providers at an operational level integration to be ahead in the blockchain curve.  Real value is provided with the integration and support from the hyper-scale platform community such as Microsoft Azure and AWS together with open industry platforms, such as IPC’s Connexus Hub, that creates end-to-end solutions that solve business problems. The importance here is APIs. We believe in a API partner integration approach which gives institutions the ability to easily access data, provide insights and inspire innovation for the market need.

Service providers, like IPC, can play a critical role here by supporting operationalisation in the systems-oriented context. Such providers are a natural connector embedding connectivity to key market participants. IPC, for example, enables access to all asset classes with over 2,000 sell-side firms, 4,000 buy-side firm and 75+ exchanges in its vast, diverse ecosystem.

What’s next?

COVID-19 has provided a ‘new normal’ that is impacting every aspect of our lives. Though this pandemic is devastating from a health, societal and economic perspective, blockchain may help the global economy rebound. The World Economic Forum believes technology such as blockchain “will benefit all countries currently impacted by COVID-19”, as it provides an efficient approach to reduce trade cost on a global scale.

Digital initiatives such as blockchain is non-partisan and open to all which allows users to act quickly at low cost with low barriers for innovation – all valuable factors in supporting the economy in an economic downturn. So, although blockchain adoption was slow in its early stage, 2020 seems to be the year blockchain comes of age.

IPC to Leverage OpenFin OS to Build Voice App Store for its 110,000+ Global User Community

NEW YORK, June 16, 2020 – IPC, a leading global provider of secure, compliant communications and networking solutions for the global financial markets, today announced a strategic partnership with OpenFin, the operating system for the financial community. Through IPC’s “App Store” environment, traders and other regulated users will be able to:

– Leverage IPC-developed applications seamlessly and efficiently alongside proprietary, client-developed applications without the need for native integration.

– Access market data and trade lifecycle services available in IPC’s Connexus Cloud platform through any OpenFin-enabled desktop, any of IPC’s terminals or any IPC ‘soft’ trading communications solution.

– Integrate third-party applications available within the OpenFin ecosystem directly into IPC-powered trading communications workflows.

“A shared and open tech stack is critical in helping financial institutions in their digitalization journeys,” stated Jefferies Financial Group. “This partnership between IPC and OpenFin is a constructive step toward ensuring the interoperability of our applications that are revolutionizing how trading desks share data and communicate with each other.”

The partnership will be rolled out in multiple phases. The initial phase will allow all users to consume Blotter, a pioneering data visualization solution that structures and digitizes voice communications sent over IPC’s innovative IQ/MAX Touch terminal, through OpenFin. When running within the OpenFin environment, Blotter can organically share data across multiple applications and vendor platforms to enable automation of complex trading workflows.   

“Our strategic partnership with OpenFin embraces an open platform approach and is a game-changing proposition that transforms how financial institutions consume applications, share data and optimize workflows,” said Bob Santella, Chief Executive Officer, IPC. “Our global community of 110,000+ users and 6,600+ market participants can rapidly exchange information across platforms and devices by leveraging the interoperability and technological flexibility that OpenFin brings.” 

“Financial market participants across the spectrum are racing to modernize their legacy technology and empower users with new productivity tools. Digital workspaces and contextual workflows are the future, and voice is a crucial information source within this. We are excited to enter into this partnership with IPC in order to help their large and diverse client community further unlock the power of voice,” said Mazy Dar, Chief Executive Officer, OpenFin.
