Trading floor support for a leading Electronic Trading Organization
 
 

Customer

The client is a leading global Electronic trading and securities firm, having a strong presence in Europe, Japan and US. Investment banking, trading, principal investments, asset management and securities services are some of the services the client offers. The client has a worldwide presence in more than 90 countries.
 

Challenge

IT infrastructure is the life line for business and a down time of even a few minutes leads to loss of revenue in the order of millions of dollars. This trading floor has grown from a few users to a few hundred users. Typically, a trader uses 5 workstations (both NT and Unix) with about 100 applications and various market data for electronic trading. The support requirements for such an environment is extremely challenging, with resolution times of a few minutes.

Some of the support requirements from us are:
One point contact for users on all support issues
Instantaneous response time and resolution time of a few minutes
SLA based service deliverables
16 hour support window
 

Solution

The Wipro desktop support team, lead by a Program Manager, is located onsite and works in two shifts. We have set up a help desk to receive, track and close all support calls from the traders on the trading floor. The help desk tool used is Remedy. This help desk is the single point of contact for all support needs of the traders – installation, configuration, troubleshooting, procurement of IT assets, etc. A well defined documented process has been established for the support operations.

The deliverables are measured and reported on a weekly basis against the agreed SLAs. The performance data are analyzed and actions to improve our performance are worked out and reviewed with the customer. This has resulted in reduction in the number of calls, improvement in the response / resolution time.

 

Benefits

Improved response and resolution times because of a dedicated help desk on the trading floor to receive and monitor the in flow of user requests.
Service window enhanced to meet the business trading.
A well defined and documented process for desktop support has been established which guarantees SLA based services.
