Energy commodities firm seamlessly links traders, analysts and middle/back office staff with innovative IP communications platform in new Houston headquarters

New York, NY - April 12, 2011 – Wesley Clover Solutions, a leading provider of IP communications solutions for financial trading firms, today announced that Lochridge Investment Advisors ("Lochridge") has selected Wesley Clover Solutions to provide an integrated voice communications platform for their trading floor, middle and back office staff in Houston, Texas.

Wesley Clover Solutions (WCS) is solving the problem that trading firms have historically encountered with having to install and support separate telecommunications systems for their trading floor and office staff in every location. This approach is expensive, hard to integrate and support and limits communications between the trading floor and off-trading floor employees which can hinder the trading process.

The WCS system enables instant connection to customers, counterparties and colleagues, speeding-up internal communications and collaboration while dramatically reducing telecommunications costs and complexity by having all employees on a single, server-based IP communications platform. The WCS solution offers trading enterprises an array of benefits including:

•Scalable, versatile and compact architecture that can be on customer site or data center
•Eliminating the need to integrate and support two separate voice platforms
•A choice of flexible, innovative IP Trading Desktops and award-winning IP Phones
•Advanced Unified Communications (UC) applications for enhanced collaboration on and off the trading floor
•Ability to easily connect and manage branch locations via high-speed WAN link
•Securely support remote IP trading desktops via broadband circuit
•Simplified system management and support enhances responsiveness to end users
•Support for SIP, TDM and analog connections in a single system controller

"Companies like Lochridge depend on highly specialized communications systems to keep them connected to customers and other market participants. WCS offers the only solution that seamlessly connects traders, analysts, middle and back office staff with a variety of IP trading desktops, phones and unified communications applications such as presence-enabled voice, IM, chat, and conferencing capabilities in a single platform," said Chris Corridon, SVP of Marketing at Wesley Clover Solutions. He added, "WCS offers a single point of contact for system design, installation and service" throughout the USA and in 90 countries.

As Mitel's exclusive US partner for the capital markets sector, Wesley Clover Solutions helps customers to reap the benefits of a single, scalable IP communications platform capable of supporting the unique needs of trading floors, middle and back office as well as branch offices, mobile and remote users that is easy to deploy and manage.
