BT nets £45 million CLSA deal

BT has snagged a £45 million contract with CLSA Asia Pacific Markets.

The Asia-based independent brokerage and investment group has chosen BT to provide a fully managed voice, data and trading systems solution across 14 countries in the Asia Pacific region, the UK and the US.

Thiyagarajah Rajah, CIO, CLSA, says: “To deal with the complexities of today’s global markets, we need to be able to adapt quickly, and scale up and down across geographies in a way that maximises our ability to seize opportunities and manage risks. Our network and applications are key enablers of such processes. We decided to gain the required efficiencies by consolidating our communications and network requirements with a single global partner. Only two or three companies in the world can do what BT does today for customers, and it has proven itself to be the ideal partner for us as it combines market leading expertise in the needs of our sector with unique breadth and depth of network capabilities all around the world.”
