Financial Services

Of all industry types, financial services companies likely best understand the value of efficiency and speed when it comes to operating a business. In this industry, competition is fierce due to ever-changing regulatory and economic issues. While managing these pressures, these providers must be proactive, attentive and on their game to ensure a high level of prompt, friendly, personalized customer service. Momentum Telecom’s UCaaS solution helps financial service providers streamline their business operations – improving productivity, time management, and increasing morale with customers.

Case Study

Greenwood Partners

is a boutique broker/dealer located in Jenkintown, PA.

Business Challenge

Greenwood Partners was not satisfied with the reliability and cost of its past telecommunications service. As a small broker dealer they were looking for a feature-rich phone system that was resilient in the event of a power or network outage. Greenwood Partners was also looking for flexibility for some of their senior management to work from home.

Solution: Momentum Telecom’s Hosted VoIP Solution

With Momentum Telecom, Greenwood Partners was able to save nearly 25% on the total cost of ownership over their former telecommunications provider. In addition, Momentum was able to address the business continuity needs by simply re-directing calls to a cell phone or any other phone number in the event of a power failure or disaster. More over, the senior management was able to receive calls on their IP phone at home as if they were sitting in the office. This solution allowed callers to dial the same number and extension as if the user was sitting in his office but with the convenience of working from home.

Video Trading/Morning Call

Key Issue: Faster decision-making and increase productivity through interactive content sharing
In a trade market morning call, market research and other relevant information is broadcast to traders and brokers prior to the opening bell. Momentum solutions broadcast the call live or on-demand over voice, video, or wireless. Recorded and archived sessions can be replayed throughout the day, increasing productivity through content sharing. Video collaboration is also used through video-enabled next-generation turrets that provide a full, visual environment for traders and financial brokers on the trading floor.

  • How important is it to ensure that your traders understand the information that your analysts provide each day?
  • Would it be helpful if your traders could replay some of the information provided by analysts on the morning call?
