"Here at BT we spend £1.2 bn every year on R&D.
"In the trading systems business, where hardware and software are constantly evolving, we know that what we design today needs to be flexible enough to meet the needs of our customers 5 or 10 years from now and beyond. It has to suit everyone in the trading community – from the broker-dealers who prefer doing business over the phone, to the fixed income traders who prefer to watch the screens for clues as to where the market is headed.
"Today, we are at an inflection point on the curve of integration between voice and electronic trading. That means all communication streams – be they voice, data and even video need to work together at the trader desktop in ways never seen before.
"You have worked with us every step of the way to create our new collaboration suite. You've given us your feedback and tested our solutions on the trading floor. We may not know how this story will end – but we do know that we will continue our dialogue with you to deliver the future of trading communications."
