Investment bank Jefferies has joined Collaboration Services, the open messaging network from Markit, a provider of financial information services, according to a company statement.
“With Markit’s network we are giving our team another tool with which to communicate and do business with clients,” says Marty DeMonte, managing director and chief information officer (CIO) at Jefferies, in a written statement. “The innovation here is that we are not adding software to our platforms, but rather extending the capabilities of our existing messaging systems.”
Markit Collaboration Services allows disparate messaging systems to communicate with one another and provides a vetted, “central directory for the financial markets,” according to the statement.
Users can see availability, send instant messages, use video and chat rooms and exchange documents securely across messaging platforms, Markit officials say.
With Collaboration Services, firms like Jefferies have expanded ability to communicate with customers regardless of what messaging technologies they have in place, says Andrew Eisen, managing director and head of Collaboration Services at Markit, in a written statement. The vendor’s communication link “bridges the front, middle and back offices and makes it easier for people in the financial industry to work efficiently with one another.”
