Release date: January 17th 2006
Formicary Ltd, an IT consultancy firm specialising in providing solutions for the financial services industry, and Parlano Inc, a leading provider of persistent group messaging, enterprise instant messaging and presence management solutions, today announced a strategic partnership whereby Formicary will deliver strategic and technical consultancy services to enterprises deploying Parlano’s MindAlign suite of products in Europe and North America.
Formicary’s consultancy expertise helps financial services businesses gain a competitive advantage by streamlining global market operations and broadening information sharing and awareness between traders, asset managers, research staff, and sales teams.
The alliance formalises a five year relationship in which Formicary has been working directly with Parlano’s MindAlign product in some of the world’s largest financial services organisations.
Formicary has proven experience deploying MindAlign and delivering complete solutions including:
- Integration with enterprise applications such as trading and research distribution systems
- Development of automated BOTs for proactively distributing information such as market and company news from internal and external systems directly into appropriate collaboration channels
- Development of custom forms (SIOPs) for controlling the format and distribution of data such as market events and trade activities
- Installation, upgrades, and ongoing support
In order to speed customer deployment and success, Formicary has developed a suite of customisable applications including a BOT framework built on top of MindAlign’s BOT technology that enables Formicary to rapidly integrate MindAlign into the rest of an enterprise’s information architecture. These extensions enable users to access important information and events directly in chat channels, thus consolidating MindAlign’s position as a centralised location for collaboration and mission critical communication in financial services. Formicary Director Joseph Do stated “The partnership is a natural progression which will be beneficial to both parties and especially clients. Working together, Parlano and Formicary are able to offer our clients a secure enterprise group messaging platform which can be integrated, fine tuned and supported with ease. The services we are able to offer reinforce Parlano’s commitment to providing the infrastructure and applications necessary to improve secure real time communication around the world.” “MindAlign delivers a real competitive edge to financial services organisations because of its unique ability to connect global teams, streamline collaboration, and alert users to critical, time sensitive information no matter where that information resides.” said Jay McGlynn, Parlano’s senior vice president of worldwide sales. “Our strategic partnership with Formicary is critical as Parlano continues to see rapid growth in financial services markets and as our customers push the envelope in their vision to integrate MindAlign with their other mission critical systems.”
