IT for Financial Services

We understand the challenges you are faced with when managing IT in financial services and we can tailor solutions to achieve your objectives and make your life easier. Our FS customers have told us about the significant pressure of compliance and regulatory issues which change often, generally becoming stricter in line with new policies from bodies such as the FSA and the SEC. You are asked to collect and store more and more data on customers which you need to keep safe – there are too many instances of data exposure and that is definitely not something that you want to deal with! You need to have customer records to hand, to be able to give accurate and relevant advice. You need to use IT to your advantage, making sure that it supports your business from whatever country, office or hotel room you are in at that time, and doesn’t become the focus of it.

Why Accelerator?

  • We have extensive experience of working in the financial services sector including hedge funds, venture capital and private equity. Please see our case studies on First Columbus Investments and Venture Capital Partners for an insight.
  • We can build solutions from scratch, should you be moving offices or starting up, and we can also build solutions that fully integrate with your legacy systems, whatever works best for you. We will work alongside all of your specialist financial service software packages from Sage, Quickbooks, Peachbooks, Bloomberg, Reuters and realtime trading systems - you could even benefit from our bespoke CRM systems all tailored specifically to your business to make sure they work efficiently and effectively.
  • You will have no upfront capital costs with our utility-based transparent pricing – you pay only for what you use so it’s opex not capex, and you get agreed quarterly bills just like you do with your utilities.

What does this mean, whether a start up or growing business, when using Accelerator's services :

  • Often we meet customers who are just starting up and need their IT and telphone systems to be up and running to get their business off the ground before they have premises.
  • We also find some businesses have just not been able to spend time looking into which systems they might need for the future, but just setting up differnet suppliers and making do to get going. With Accelerator you have a one stop shop single supplier, single support number for everything, and one bill.
  • They also want to tick all the regulatory boxes quickly and not have to break the bank.

 

Tailored solutions

We can take the worry out of compliance and regulation with products such as:

-  Call Recording (link to Call Recording product page) where incoming and outgoing conversations with customers and suppliers can be taped and kept as required by law or for training purposes.
