Assuming that you’re using other cloud services in your unified business communications apart from your cloud based PBX, it is incredibly important that your service providers keep up with cloud technology trends. Keeping up with trends isn’t just about making you more up-to-date or cool; it’s about making sure that you can effectively compete against other companies in your industry. That’s why it’s always good to know which trends are on the rise, and which of those trends are relevant to the success of your business.
Here are some trends that your organization may find useful:
Intelligent Data Handling
More than anything else, the heart of your cloud capabilities is the data it saves, transmits and synchronizes within a network of devices. One of the major concerns people have is the quality and security of the data being put in the cloud. Whenever we input new details in a central network accessible through different channels, it tends to make many copies of the same basic piece of information. This makes the information vulnerable to corruption and even minor security issues. Thankfully, there are new coding and infrastructure solutions that are addressing these.
Full Management Services
Cloud based PBX and other cloud services are no longer “fringe” or “marginalized” solutions, and more people are taking their benefits seriously. Given that a good number of such users do not have the technical expertise or confidence early adopters have in setting up and managing such systems, it is especially important for your service provider to offer full management services. This not only includes installation, but system monitoring, analysis, and upgrades.
Effective Backup Protocol
As is true for most technology, it is inevitable that they, at some point, will break down. The true measure of a good service provider is its ability to limit the inconvenience users experience during such events. This may involve setting up mirror programs, on-site backup systems, and the like. In the case of cloud PBX, this also involves speedy system recovery.
Direct Edge offers clients a variety of ways to link to their network. As the fourth largest trading platform in the US, they have mastered the electronic exchange platform and made it easier for traders to track their transactions. The company is looking to expand into international territories, with the first being a headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. That office is scheduled to open late in the fourth quarter. Although the deal is pending regulatory approval, the company has already launched an official Brazilian website.
Customers of Directedge can access their platform through a variety of connections. One of them, named Edge Link, provides clients the opportunity to connect directly to several of their customer routers. The company allows firms to choose their own Telco provider or to order a direct connection to the platform. Their website provides a wealth of information on this subject, and is available for viewing without a login or membership.
Connect Edge is a low latency, high speed network available for customers that need access both exchange platforms (EDGA and EDGX). Firms can cross connect from inside their own facility to one of many Direct Edge Points of Presence (Pop). Clients can also leverage existing connections to Direct Edge to receive market data from other centers. Additionally, clients have access to several approved financial extranets.
Since their exchange approval by the SEC in 2010, Direct Edge platforms frequently exchange over 1 billion shares in a single day. The high-end technology of the system allows this to be done safely and consistently by traders accessing their systems from an offsite computer. Performing these trades electronically ultimately allows the client to have better control over their exchanges, and gives them a more clear and organized view of their daily financial transactions.
The history of the company dates back to 1998, when it was originally named Attain ECN. It was eventually acquired by the International Securities Exchange (ISE), when the executive branch of the company was reorganized. Its current leaders include former NASDAQ executives as well as others that worked with its former owner, Knight Capital Group, who as responsible for giving the company its current name. Trades using this platform are responsible for roughly 10 to 12% of the market share.
Direct Edge has experienced unprecedented growth since 2010, and shows clear signs that innovation and technology will continue to be part of their promising future.
According to Bob Edwards, most people in these days have not heard about Ed Murrow having a live show in the broadcasting network.
