What financial services teams tell us

Fragmented from the start, and harder to control every year

Legacy running critical lines, sprawl across acquisitions, uptime under scrutiny, and copper switching off.
01 · AVAILABILITY

A dropped call is a continuity event

When voice goes down, customers, trades, and claims go with it. Now the regulator wants to know why.

financial services 3
  • Trading desks, contact centers, advisor lines, and branches all depending on the same voice path.
  • Outages measured in regulator letters and customer compensation, not just lost minutes.
  • Operational resilience rules holding the firm accountable for third-party voice failure.
  • Availability targets the business signed up to, with no way to prove they are met.
02 · REGULATED CONVERSATIONS

Every regulated call has to be provable

Recording, retention, and supervision aren't optional. The infrastructure underneath them often is an afterthought.

REGULATED CONVERSATIONS
  • Recording and retention obligations spanning offices, mobiles, contact centers, and hybrid workers.
  • Off-channel enforcement turning a missing record into a multimillion-dollar penalty.
  • Compliance recording bolted onto a voice estate nobody designed for it.
  • Supervision and audit expectations that vary by country across the same firm.
03 · ESTATE COMPLEXITY

More entities, more carriers, less control

Deals you closed. Carriers you inherited. Either way, the voice estate keeps multiplying.

financial services 4
  • Each acquisition adds another PBX, another platform, another set of carrier contracts.
  • Local number ranges, regional carriers, and support paths inherited from merged-in businesses.
  • Country-by-country regulations preventing one global carrier across the estate.
  • Integration work outlasting the deals that created it, with too little visibility.
04 · LEGACY LINES

Copper still runs critical services

Branch phones, dealerboards, alarms, elevator lines, and fax on estates the carrier is switching off.

Contact Center agent (1)
  • Dealerboards, turrets, and branch handsets tied into a PBX marked for retirement.
  • Fax still in production for regulated documents, confirmations, and compliance archives.
  • Alarms, elevator phones, and door entry sharing the same analog estate as the phones.
  • PSTN switch-off arriving before the firm has a plan for what still depends on it.

Built for the regulated reality of global finance

One estate, every outcome the firm has to prove

ONE GLOBAL VOICE AND NETWORK ESTATE

Teams, Webex, and Zoom across up to 137 countries. One provider, one estate for every office, branch, and acquisition.

RECORDABLE, RESILIENT VOICE

Voice built for recording, retention, and availability, so regulated conversations stay compliant and customer-facing lines stay up.

LEGACY CONTINUITY

Dealerboards, branch phones, fax, and alarms stay live while you migrate. Each line moves when the firm is ready.

SPEND GOVERNANCE

A clean inventory of every voice and circuit contract across acquired entities. Recoverable spend flagged before the invoice clears.

Five outcomes shaping global financial services today.

Our own global voice network, with PSTN replacement in 50+ countries and flexible voice in up to 137.

Pure IP owns and runs its global voice network from 12 points of presence across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Acquired entities consolidated onto one estate as deals close, with number porting and management handled centrally across countries.

For the people running financial services IT

Different priorities, one team

Keeps the estate running

Head of Infrastructure and Telephony

The problem

Multiple carriers, inconsistent SLAs, aging SBCs, and undocumented number ranges. A branch outage on a Friday afternoon is your problem, not the vendor's. So is the compliance recording that stopped capturing after the last carrier swap.

How we help

We bring the estate onto one managed global network, with one support team and one view of every line. Legacy PBXs and cloud platforms run alongside each other at your pace, and recording-ready voice keeps regulated lines provable through the migration.
