FINANCE

FOR FINANCES THAT CAN’T DEVALUE.

Finance is global. Deals happen across countries and continents, and never stop. Investors, traders and buyers must stay connected permanently, everywhere.

And today, the industry’s tarnished reputation adds even more pressure. Banking services must be delivered faster, more efficiently and seamlessly for less cost, to an unforgiving customer base.

THAT’S ALL-TIME™.

Our scalable IT is tailored to the needs of individual organisations, ensuring consistently high service levels that always meet regulatory compliance requirements.

ENABLING EVERY INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY.

Finance no longer works 9 to 5. It works all the time. And everywhere. Deals are done in cars, on trains, in cafés – not just in the office. Investors need to be connected. Their profits depend on it. As do their customers.

In the cut and thrust world of finance, vast amounts can be gained and lost in mere moments. Direct decisions are required; instant actions are imperative.

We help leading investment management company, Liontrust, deal with £3.4 billion worth of business, reliably and securely – anywhere in the world.

Our SLAs and availability expertise ensure Liontrust is well on its way to achieving its goal of having totally site-independent IT.

THE CONCEPT OF ENTERPRISE-CLASS CLOUD COMPUTING MAY BE RELATIVELY NEW BUT THE UNDERLYING INFRASTRUCTURE IS SUNGARD’S BREAD AND BUTTER. WE TRUST THEIR EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES.

Investment banking is in a state of flux. The industry is rebuilding its reputation in the face of unrelenting regulation, evolving operations and unprecedented scepticism.

Firms must be more efficient, processes more transparent, management more diligent; and all while cutting costs. In this kind of environment, data has real – and real-time – value, so a well-organised IT infrastructure is crucial.

For Genesis Investment Management, this means storing expanding data volumes safely, legally and affordably. Particularly given its involvement with emerging markets.

We make sure that Genesis enjoys the flexibility, reliability and cost-effectiveness it needs to derive tangible business benefits from its information. We save it thousands of pounds in data storage costs, while reducing volumes by 40% – along with shorter backup and restore times.

MAKING BANKING WORK FOR TODAY’S CUSTOMERS.

Investment management is transforming. As the industry recovers from global recession, new processes, tighter regulation and geopolitical instability are changing the way it does business.

Although challenging, this is creating valuable opportunities for forward-thinking, agile firms to lead investment management into its next era. Technology is central to this – in everything from research and performance management to client reporting.

As a leader in business risk management for some of the world’s largest companies, Baillie Gifford’s success is built on stable partnerships that reassure its clients and motivate its employees. This is underpinned by scalable IT that can be tailored exactly to its needs and delivers a consistently high level of service, whatever happens. That’s where we come in.

Tighter regulation and a focus on streamlining operations are forcing banks to rethink the way they do business with their customers. Although performance is improving, further major changes are needed to ensure sustained growth and return on investors’ equity.

Success depends on delivering exceptional customer experiences, through slicker processes, better technology and deeper customer insights.

As one of the most trusted financial institutions around, service is everything to Ipswich Building Society. By outsourcing its IT through us, its business benefits from the latest technology, advanced telephony and secure data access.

The result is a personalised, uninterrupted experience for members and customers alike – that always meets regulatory compliance requirements. All-time™ information works for Ipswich Building Society.

ENSURING SUCCESSFUL TRADING ACROSS TIME ZONES.

Technology helps everyone work smarter and faster. But this reliance also creates risk – especially for those whose financial survival depends on it.

No one wants to be told that an IT failure has suddenly shrunk their most valuable assets.

Martin Currie, a specialist investment management business that deals with $5.5 billion in active equity portfolios, needs the peace-of-mind that its technology is reliable and secure – because every second of trading counts.

With offices in Edinburgh, London, New York, Melbourne, Singapore, Zurich and Hong Kong, there’s no such thing as a ‘Plan B’ if things go wrong: things can’t go wrong.

‘Plan A’ needs to work – all of the time. Our Workplace Recovery and Managed Services make sure it does, without fail.

KEEPING CAR FINANCE FLEXIBLE.

Today’s car finance industry faces many challenges.
