IPC has completed the engineering and installation of a new trading floor for Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets. The newly merged Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets selected IPC to handle the move of its derivatives, FX, credit and debt capital markets traders from the main floor to a new 250-position trading floor and to enhance the firm’s trader voice infrastructure enabling robust business continuity across the enterprise.
To outfit the new state-of-the art trading floor, Lloyds TSB chose IPC’s Alliance MX infrastructure, IQMX and Remote Enterprise IQMX turrets, Applications Modules with TraderVision and Enterprise ICMX intercoms. In addition, Lloyds TSB chose to replace its overall voice network infrastructure with IPC’s Enterprise Voice Services (EVS). By choosing to implement EVS, Lloyds both ensured a smooth move from one floor to the new trading floor and at the same time created a comprehensive business continuity capability that benefits the firm’s entire operations.
“We wanted to create an architecture that would be as robust as possible and that could easily grow along with us,” says Gavin Golbourn, the Head of Production Support at Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets. “We now have an even more efficient and secure operation that will allow us to serve our clients better than ever before, thanks to IPC. IPC’s expertise and track record make them a valuable partner to our business.”
“We are extremely pleased to be working with Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets. More and more top firms are now looking at trading floors on a global scale rather than one at a time,” adds Lance Boxer, the CEO of IPC.
“They are demanding much more sophisticated environments, relying on the integration of many different types of technologies and services. We’re working with our clients to achieve efficiencies and benefits on this global scale, which helps them create a sustainable advantage in the marketplace.”
