Built for time-critical, multi-line conversations…

At the core of every trade is communication. But today’s conversations are rarely one dimensional. Traders are engaged in multiple discussions with clients, brokers and colleagues – across the desk, throughout the business and around the globe. When you have twenty calls on the go, every second counts. The right conversation, with the right person, at the right time, can make a dramatic difference. You need to instantly move the conversation from London to New York, and from buyer to seller. To see who’s on hold, unavailable or calling with the decision you’re waiting for. You need to pick up, release and switch between calls in seconds – without a key press. And you need to know you’re always online, available and calls won’t be dropped. Introducing OpenScape Xpert from Unify, the multi-line trading floor communications solution that’s proven across the world’s major trading institutions. It’s designed to increase the efficiency of your trading floor. Energy, commodities or currency, it doesn’t matter. In any trading environment, OpenScape Xpert simplifies your complex communications environment so you can manage – with ease – the extensive calls you make and receive every day. How speed happens
