The Williams Capital Group Selects Converged IP Communications Platform from Wesley Clover Solutions
Boutique Investment Bank Gets Advanced Trading Technology and Lowers Costs by Replacing Legacy Voice Platforms
New York, NY – June 28, 2010 – Wesley Clover Solutions, a leading provider of IP voice communications platforms for financial trading firms and command/control centers, today announced that The Williams Capital Group, L.P., a boutique investment firm with headquarters in New York City, has deployed the Wesley Clover Solutions IP Voice Communications Platform (VCP) for all office and trading floor staff.
Founded in 1994, Williams Capital specializes in underwriting, trading and distribution in equity and fixed income markets for corporations and institutional investors as well as government agencies, state and local governments.
The VoIP-based platform replaces legacy trading turret and PBX platforms offering employees both on and off the trading floor a common set of choices for both PBX and trading turret features, functions and applications. By integrating enterprise voice (PBX) and trading turrets into a single, scalable platform, the VCP eliminates the need for two separate systems simplifying system deployment and management while significantly increasing communications and collaboration capability among staff.
“It was obvious to the team at Williams Capital that, by going with Wesley Clover Solutions, they could give their staff the latest technology while significantly reducing costs and operational risk,” said Chris Corridon, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Wesley Clover Solutions. He added, “The ROI is almost immediate for firms deploying a converged communications platform because of reduced space and power requirements, simplified infrastructure, and having a single system, management and software platform.”
Jay Adolphus, Chief Technology Officer of Williams Capital, led the evaluation and implementation process and cited Wesley Clover Solutions’ “flexibility throughout the project” in making sure that the transition from their old systems went as smoothly as possible. Equally, he has been pleased with the “excellent level of support” since the system installation and believes that the “great rapport” the companies have established has been a key to a successful project.
