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.

“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.

COVID-19 – The Impact on Trading, Now and in the Future

First Published: Hubbis / May 2020 

Amid the tenure of the Covid-19 pandemic, Bob Santella, the Chief Executive Officer of IPC Systems shares his insights on the impact the virus has had on the globe, noting the challenges being faced by financial institutions, the vital importance of liquidity, what the future may hold, and the movement of digital solutions into the limelight as the world rides out its almost-universal state of quarantine.

Bob Santella, Chief Executive Officer, IPC

The Covid-19 pandemic poses one of the greatest health threats to the global population in a generation. Our thoughts are with the first responders and healthcare workers who are on the front lines, battling the virus every day in their communities. This is a pandemic that has touched every one of us: our families, our businesses, our communities and our very way of life.

Amidst this crisis, the function of the financial markets in sustaining world trade, commerce and supply chains – in other words, the role that it plays in ensuring that workers get paid, that people can buy food, and that they can continue to access healthcare and medicines – is ever more visible and vital. I’m proud to see so many of our fellow market participants and service providers pulling together to support one another, and to support our economies and workers, in these challenging times.

Throughout our history, IPC has built its reputation on providing high-quality services to financial market participants – including the support that they need to ensure effective business continuity during times of crisis or disasters. Now, with the virus simultaneously impacting all major trading locations, we face the unprecedented challenges associated with most financial institutions having a large percentage of their staff working in isolation from home.

Reassuringly, through all of this, we have not seen the same freezes in liquidity that characterised the global financial crisis. This should give us all – whether financial institutions, regulators or policy makers – greater confidence in the resilience of the measures that have been implemented around systemic risk and the robustness of systems, processes and controls. Secure and resilient networks that meet these compliance requirements can provide much-needed support. Those market participants who have prepared for a digitally connected decentralised world are far more likely to experience better performance as a result of their more robust business continuity capabilities.

During stressed market conditions, the ability to have access to the right network and counterparties to find liquidity is absolutely vital. Large networked communities create resilience. A successful community network offers its participants connectivity to a readymade and diverse global financial ecosystem. The constant streams of communication between community members – orders, quotes, confirmations, post-trade data – all rely on common interfaces and protocols, and on the underlying infrastructure that supports these. Speed is of the essence, not only in the timing of individual trade executions, but also in the ability of firms to quickly connect to new market participants. And the role of voice trading is critical – the ability to pick up the phone and speak to a trusted counterparty.

Prior to Covid-19, many of our customers in the Asia-Pacific region had already experienced impacts to their working practices due to the protests in Hong Kong. We have been able to apply this experience when working with our customers as the pandemic spread to the US, Europe and other regions. Our products such asIQ/MAX® Omni, Remote Devices, EVS as a Service and Disaster Recovery as a Serviceoffer secure remote working capabilities for traders while maintaining compliance in the trading workflow. We’ve had to move faster than ever in order to help our clients ready themselves for lockdown; recently, we supported 1000 soft client licenses over a single Sunday night. Market participants have done a remarkable job in moving quickly, and in ensuring the stability and resilience of their systems.

And what of the post-crisis future? Our view is that this experience has accelerated the adoption of cloud in the financial markets. With a renewed emphasis on disaster recovery and business continuity, and as IT infrastructure increasingly becomes commoditised, we will see more CIOs of financial institutions shifting their attention toward finding services that enable them to plan, procure, and orchestrate cloud services from multiple vendors, across a mixture of public and private clouds, from a single pane of glass.

We see voice trading continuing to play an essential role in times of market turbulence. The transition to a cloud-based environment will be more than a tactical response. It represents a long-term shift in how trading floors will evolve towards greater interoperability and flexibility. Voice trading remains the industry’s largest source of unstructured data, and having the capability to digitise voice data will be key for both strategic and compliance purposes. Constant innovation is the key to success. It is clear that this crisis has accelerated digital transformation efforts, where the impact will continue to be felt well into the future.

How Financial Markets are Maintaining Resilience During COVID-19

First Published: A-Team Insight / May 2020

We are indeed living through unprecedented times, with the COVID-19 virus impacting all major trading locations around the globe simultaneously. Traders at financial institutions may already be working at home in self-isolation, or else unable to work as they are ill. Others, able to travel and classified as essential workers, have opted for your disaster recovery site instead.

The diminished and dispersed trading-from-home workforce is creating increasingly complex scenarios for your Compliance Departments to manage. How do they continue to comply with prescriptive requirements around voice recordings and data capture? What happens when regulated trading activity – that in all ordinary times, must only be undertaken from official premises, and under strictly controlled conditions – is happening out of someone’s living room?

Data Challenges

Even before the ongoing health crisis, remote and mobile workforces were clearly the direction almost every industry was headed. However, the financial sector has to-date understandably been stymied by regulatory and security hurdles.

Virtual working opens a myriad of data security risks, including scams like phishing, ransomware, and skimming. Especially considering this may be the first-time employees have worked from home, or the first time for institutions enacting a remote-work policy, so many are still acclimatizing to new protocols. There are also huge compliance implications that financial institutions need to overcome.

Maintaining Resilience in a New Era

No doubt, these are extraordinary times. In the FICC markets, we are seeing incredible volatility in Treasury yields. There are heavy fluctuations in pricing, spreads are widening and it’s unclear where the liquidity really lies, yet financial institutions must continue servicing clients, discovering prices, accessing liquidity and managing risk.

For firms that are highly dependent on a small group of venues and counterparties for market access, it is troubling times indeed. But for those with access to a large, diverse community, this could be an opportunity to generate alpha and distinguish themselves from the competition.

Large networked communities create resilience. A successful community network offers its participants connectivity to an established, diverse and global financial ecosystem – one that includes a wide variety of counterparties for price discovery, liquidity and execution, such as brokers, dealers, inter-dealer brokers, exchanges, dark pools, hedge funds, asset managers, institutional investors, trade lifecycle services and market data providers. In other words, the information that firms need to find liquidity, and the ability to access it.

Secure and resilient networks that meet every compliance requirement can provide much-needed support. Those of us who have prepared for a digitally connected decentralized world will certainly do well and probably maintain business continuity.

The pandemic has touched every one of us: our families, our businesses, our communities, and our very way of life. In the chaos, the role financial markets play in underpinning world trade, commerce and supply chains – in other words, the role that they then play in ensuring that workers get paid, that people can buy food, that they can continue to access healthcare and medicines — is becoming crystal clear. In fact, several governments around the world have classified many financial services workers as essential. And, I’m proud to say that it appears market participants and their service providers are pulling together to support one another amid the emerging challenges.

Wall Street will never be the same after the coronavirus

First Published: CNBC / May 2020 

Our CEO Robert Santella is featured in a major story in CNBC on how Wall Street will ‘never be the same’ after the Coronavirus, alongside industry leaders from Goldman Sachs, Barclays, and Morgan Stanley. He says: “Some portion of our workforce won’t need to come back to the office on a full time basis. This intermediate period could last 12 months or longer, meaning that people will continue to rely on tech platforms rather than face-to-face contact.”
