US-based Communicator Inc is partnering Inceptio Communications, a London sales support services firm, to market its messaging tool Communicator Hub IM and community portal SecuritiesHub to securities firms in Europe.
The Communicator Hub IM system combines real-time messaging and discussion group forums with delivery of news, research and information. The SecuritiesHub portal enables buy-side companies to view co-mingled research, personalise the data and communicate in real-time with their sell-side colleagues. Over 24,000 institutional investors from more than 60 countries are now using the portal.
Communicator says the products will help European firms address communications issues including security and identity management, compliance with regulations for archiving messages and the evolution of messaging services into broader collaboration, presence-sensing and content delivery tools.
Leo Schlinkert, president and CEO, Communicator Inc, adds the company already serves financial corporations with a European presence, including Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and FXall: "We are seeing strong demand for our communications, community and content solutions both from European headquartered firms and global companies with a European presence."
