IPC Systems’ Unigy® Soft Client wins COVID Management Initiative of the Year

Catering to the mobility and flexibility requirements of traders during the pandemic.

From the onset of the pandemic, IPC Systems faced immediate demands that needed to be addressed on the trading floor. What quickly became clear was the need to evolve from traditional on-premise practices to a hybrid working model. This transition required a rapid and dramatic shift in how the trading floor has traditionally been viewed alongside the practicalities of technological infrastructure upgrades and implementation.

Faced with the above, IPC Systems introduced Unigy® Soft Client, the industry’s leading solution for traders to work remotely whilst minimising the disruption to business performance amidst the unprecedented necessity of remote work. By adopting the application early in the pandemic, traders were able to seamlessly access their IPC Unigy system – a state-of-the-art, SOA-based platform for trading communications and applications that can be accessed from a remote setting. With flexible deployment options, Unigy Soft Client enabled customers to rapidly adapt to a work-from-home environment whilst virtually replicating the same experience physically in an office setting.

Powered by Connexus Unigy®, a dedicated and private cloud delivery of the industry’s leading platform for compliant traders and regulated user communications, Unigy Soft Client provides users with the same access to the very best tools, irrespective of the kind of crisis at hand. It can be rapidly deployed, ensuring the delivery of powerful features with the same intuitive look, feel, and workflow as the end-user interface of the IQ/MAX® Touch financial terminal.

The ability to rapidly deploy and execute Unigy Soft Client offering an effective performance solution during the pandemic allowed IPC to gain a competitive advantage. Whether it is a disruptive event or the new normal, regardless of location, device, or application, IPC’s Unigy Soft Client provides traders with the same functionality, consistency, and flexibility that is expected from IPC’s Unigy solution. The volatility and uncertainty of environments today require firms to quickly adapt or risk falling behind. The pandemic demonstrated that the Unigy Soft Client facilitated traders and other regulated users to maintain secure, reliable, and compliant communications with their trading counterparts.
