AFTAs 2021: Best communication infrastructure provider—IPC Systems

OVERVIEW

As the Covid-19 pandemic extended into 2021, it became apparent that some changes made to accommodate remote workers would become permanent, as hybrid in-person/remote work setups are now the norm.

End users are demanding more parts of the trading ecosystem be delivered via the cloud and on as-a-service bases, rather than the hard-install olden days.

THE SOLUTION

IPC’s Unigy communications platform has upwards of 110,000 users.

This year, IPC launched Agility, which works in concert with the vendor’s Unigy and Connexus. Its aim is to provide a tool for digital transformation in high- and low-touch trading. The tool incorporates multiple state-of-the-art technologies to simplify and optimize deployment of applications over the IPC trading and communications ecosystem.

WHAT’S TO COME

IPC is developing more “open-platform methodologies” to encourage wider adoption of its various applications. 

The vendor also has various other interoperability projects underway with other trading application providers. 

WHY THEY WON

IPC’s global footprint and hefty user numbers have established the vendor as one of the clear leaders in the communications platform space. Its move to the cloud has also been important as more workers are opting to work remotely.
