Alex Walker And Gordon McArthur – The Partnership Between IPC, JSE And Beeks

FF News had a chat with Alex Walker, VP Global Network Data Sales at IPC, and Gordon McArthur, CEO of Beeks, who provide an overview of the partnership between IPC, JSE and Beeks, including the strengths that come alongside it.

IPC is a leading provider of communication and networking solutions for the global financial industry. They offer secure and reliable communication platforms and services that enable financial institutions to connect, collaborate, and exchange critical information efficiently.

JSE (Johannesburg Stock Exchange) is the largest stock exchange in Africa, providing a platform for trading various financial instruments such as equities, bonds, and derivatives. It plays a crucial role in facilitating capital raising, investment, and economic growth in South Africa and the broader African market.

Beeks is a global provider of automated trading infrastructure and cloud-based solutions for the financial industry, empowering institutional clients with low-latency connectivity, secure hosting, and data management services. They enable efficient and reliable trading operations for clients in the capital markets, ensuring optimal performance and scalability.

“You bring best of breed in the network, best of breed in cloud infrastructure, and it really means, for JSE’s end client base, they have a cloud platform in the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, that is really transformational for their end clients.” – Gordon McArthur

“It’s two problems that it’s solving: Firstly, from the exchange front, it’s how do they monetise their offerings, particularly in the co-location space. And secondly, how do they encourage more clients?” – Alex Walker
