/PRNewswire/ -- IPC Systems, Inc., a

leading provider of voice and electronic trading communications solutions to

the world's top financial services firms, today announced a strategic

partnership with Acme Packet, a leader in session delivery network solutions, to

extend the value of IPC's Unigy platform more broadly across the enterprise.

Partnering with Acme Packet enhances IPC's SIP based Unified Trading

Communications platform to deliver applications across all users in the trading

workflow, regardless of the communications device being used. With this

integration, trading floors can enhance the productivity of all users in the trade

workflow, increase business agility, simplify legacy IP telephony infrastructures,

and better control costs.

"IPC's Unigy is a revolutionary platform for today's trading floor, helping to

extend critical communications across all offices and systems within the

enterprise," said Dino Di Palma, chief operating officer, Acme Packet. "Our

application enablement technology enables customers to centralize the

infrastructure and management resources, putting IT managers in control of

complex communications and applications architectures."

By partnering with Acme Packet IPC will have the ability to extend Unigy's

native Session Management and application capabilities more broadly across

an enterprise, expanding from its trading turrets to traditional telephony

systems. Unigy's applications leverage IPC's Blue Wave Application

development platform, which also allows customers and third party developers

to create communications-enabled applications that manage and optimize

trading workflows.

"Combining Acme Packet's solution and the power of Unigy allows us to provide

customers with a unique enterprise-wide solution that can help improve

efficiency and reduce costs," said Mark Miller, vice president, product

management for IPC. "In addition, by extending Unigy-based applications to

traditional telephony such as PBXs, we can help customers have greater control

over communications and, in turn, allow them to more easily comply with

increasingly complex regulations governing who can talk to who within trading

firms."

IPC's Unigy is the industry's first single, open standards Software Oriented

Architecture (SOA) based platform for unified trading communications and

applications. The key benefits Unigy offers are:

Collaboration - simplifying and accelerating collaboration between traders and their

middle and back office trade support teams so deals can get done faster

Session Management - providing customers with the tools they need to manage

communications, control access and meet compliance requirements

Exclusive apps - enabling customers and third-parties to develop proprietary

applications, on demand, to streamline processes and gain a competitive advantage

Management - dramatically improving communications system management,

monitoring, and operations with the new Unigy Management System for greater

flexibility, scalability and uptime

Lower costs – by providing more affordable, built-in business continuity options, lower

energy consumption and smaller rack footprint, and more efficient use of IT resources.
