New Trading Floor for FTC
CAS began this project with a review of existing trading/back office services. From this business orientated information, CAS, together with its strategic networking partners – DP Systems, designed and implemented a new trading floor. The project involved the entire trading environment from an empty, converted listed property, including the specific accommodation issues created by such a building. The facilities included:
- 50 position Hitachi voice trading and back office system, providing improved communications
- External and internal infrastructure for NT based local area network
- Network services connectivity for the voice/data systems
- External service delivery and installation for Reuters and Bloomberg feeds with satellite backup
- Supply management for all new and relocated desktop hardware, servers and infrastructure
- New structured cabling scheme for the trading floor and communications rooms
- Management of the furniture supply and cabling connections within the desk and at the desktop
- Power and office infrastructure design and project management
CAS proved its capabilities to organise and implement all aspects of trading floor service delivery.
