Jersey City, N.J. – November 5, 2013 – In an effort to simplify business management and become more flexible, trading firms worldwide are increasingly using communications solutions that allow them to execute trades with mobile technology. Scotty D, an independent investment management firm in Hawaii, is now exclusively using IPC Systems’ Unigy Pulse Mobile unified trading solution alongside their existing IPC Network service connection for streamlined communications and infrastructure.
Scotty D’s shift to an all-mobile business practice gives them a competitive advantage over larger firms, as they can now provide international clients with a wider range of service capabilities anytime and anywhere they have an internet connection. The convenience of 24/7 accessibility will increase the efficiency of Scotty D’s trades and help organize their entire trading workflow.
“We are very excited to use Unigy Pulse Mobile as our new trading communications system. This lighter-weight mobile solution is a comfortable fit for our business-size and makes the most sense for providing continued and seamless service to our customers,” said Lynn Shimasaki, Head of Sales. “We are already experiencing better voice quality than we initially anticipated and are enjoying our new mobility.”
“By relying solely on IPC’s Unigy Pulse Mobile, Scotty D is truly revolutionizing the growing ‘portable office’ trend. Implementing Unigy Pulse Mobile onto their existing IPC Network service connection will ultimately bring down operating costs and make organization within the office easier to manage,” said Bart Bartolozzi, Senior Product Marketing Manager, IPC. “Our sophisticated security features allow them to communicate with clients in the most convenient ways possible.”
Unigy Pulse Mobile is the mobile component of IPC’s Unigy product suite. It operates on the Apple® iPad® and gives users full, secure hoot and intercom capabilities. The platform’s software is designed to make the entire trading process efficient and utilizes standards-based technology to ensure compliance requirements are met.
