Arian Financial chooses Orange Business Services -Trading Solutions’ Open Trade communications platform
London, 6 December 2010
Orange Business Services - Trading Solutions, the leader in voice and electronic
trading infrastructure and services for the trading communities, today announced
that leading UK interdealer broker Arian Financial has selected Open Trade as
its innovative trading communications platform of choice. Open Trade is a touch screen multimedia, smart turret seamlessly
integrating
voice, video, email, instant messaging and web-based applications onto one communications
device.
Implemented this month at Arian Financial’s UK headquarters, the company chose
Open Trade to take advantage of the turret’s compactness which has saved the firm
as much as 50 per cent desk real estate. The platform’s superior sound quality
was also a key selling point since Arian’s business is led by voice communication
along with its reliability and efficiency. Open Trade’s sleek design, colour coding
and ease of use also attracted Arian Financial to the platform.
“Upgrading our technology to Open Trade was a must for us, it’s simple to understand,
manage and was easy to deploy. The desk space saved has been immense and the sound
quality has made a huge amount of difference to our brokers. Open Trade is the
future of trading technology and incorporates all the different applications a
modern trader needs with efficiency. Orange Business Services - Trading Solutions
has a clear grasp of what is required in a trading room and have considered all
aspects thoroughly,” said John Meadows, Senior Partner at Arian Financial”.
Richard Petti, UK and Ireland managing director at Orange Business Services -
Trading Solutions said, “We are extremely happy that Arian Financial is using
Open Trade. They have embraced the advanced functionality of Open Trade recognising
that the future of trading begins here. This is also proof that our customers
trust the security and robustness of our managed solution. These are exciting
times for us as we have already seen significant interest in Open Trade from financial
institutions around the globe this year.”
