Calyon is using the VoIP/TDM dual mode Mach 3D turret as well as the Etrali voice recording system.

France-based Calyon Capital Markets has been a client of Orange Business Services – Trading Solutions for a number of years. Etrali Mach 3D turrets have been installed and will be going live in eight Asian sites: Hong Kong, Tokyo, Mumbai, Taipei, Singapore, Seoul, Bangkok and Shanghai. The majority of the turrets are in Tokyo and Hong Kong.

The deal forms an important part of Calyon’s IT strategy in Asia and will enable Calyon to respond to the growth in the trading volumes in Asian markets and the increasing importance of the region.

Says Fabrice Garambois, head of operations and IT at Calyon Capital Markets, Asia Pacific, said: We have a close relationship with Orange Business Services in Asia having worked with them for many years. Their products are well suited to our needs so when the decision was made to upgrade our turrets, Etrali Mach 3D was the natural choice. We have decided to go for a gradual implementation across the region; the installation has gone well and has been very straightforward. As we are considering moving to VoIP sometime in the future the Mach 3D is the best option for us, offering us the ability to migrate easily at a time of our choice.
