Enter WiredRed's e/pop IM system, which let Bond Street Capital
establish a private and secure IM network behind its firewall.
The IM network could also be extended to lender banks... "It took 15 minutes to load the WiredRed server," Forman says.
Forman says IM has largely displaced e-mail, and now comprises
the majority of the company's electronic communications.
February, 2004
One firm that is using IM internally is direct-access trader
Terra Nova Trading. Terry Regas, manager of the business
development group at the Chicago-based firm, is using the e/pop
system from WiredRed of San Diego, Calif. Regas says, "It's used
across the organization to communicate sensitive information. As
a result, if something is happening in the markets or there's an
event taking place that could impact the markets, the
information can be disseminated quickly."
Another firm using that system is Davenport & Company, a
Richmond, Va.-based broker-dealer, which has been using IM for
four years. Noting that the firm uses the medium strictly
internally, Mike Eckler, vice president of information services,
says, "We have it set up so the IT department can IM the entire
company in seconds." It is used to notify personnel when an
application is down or if there is a network outage. He adds
that it prevents the call center from getting swamped with
inquiries. Sales assistants also use it to send messages to
their bosses when they are on the phone, to advise them of
another call or pending meeting. As well, receptionists can use
it to see who is in or out of the office.
An audit and reporting feature allows the firm to record and
archive IMs to achieve compliance with U.S. securities
regulators.
