Testimonials

“In just over a week we installed MindAlign and rolled it out to over 700 users in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. Within two weeks the solution paid for itself on the profit of a single trade as traders from different continents were able to communicate and coordinate activities using persistent group discussions matching the banks market making activities.”
Mike Rees, chief executive officer, Standard Chartered Bank’s Wholesale Bank

“In originally selecting MindAlign, we focused on ease of use and immediate return on investment as critical success factors. The rapid adoption and assimilation of the solution into our day-to-day processes, operations and applications has enabled us to remain focused on our clients while leveraging the global strength of the bank. Whether it has been identifying and executing trades across our global product desks, collaborating real-time to structure capital markets opportunities, expediting the distribution of client feedback and proprietary research or bringing groups of people together on the fly to make critical decisions, the availability of presence information and real-time access to communications has significantly improved the effectiveness of our operations.”

“The main benefit of MindAlign for us is the reactivity we have on the market when we have news. As soon as we have that news, our analysts and managers, from across the bank are able to discuss that news and make decisions in the specific channel. That reactivity on the market is really a great advantage for us.”

“MindAlign works for trading because the group chat model mirrors the trading floor by organizing users and conversation according to markets. But, instead of shouting across the desk our users can shout across the world without having to worry someone will miss the message because they’re getting a cup of coffee. Group chat enables virtual trading floors!”
