Case Study: Global Asset Management Firm achieves simplified trading partner connectivity with Colt Technology Services and Colt PrizmNet

A global asset management firm simplifies connectivity to its trading partners

Global Asset Management Firm, an investment management and research business in capital markets, needed a simpler way to connect with brokers, content providers, and dark pools at LD4 in Slough and across London and Europe. Managing many cross-connects and leased lines would have created heavy overhead, while monitoring latency, utilisation, and performance across all connections would be difficult and costly. Colt Technology Services, using Colt PrizmNet, provided a private financial extranet designed for secure, low-latency connectivity.

Colt Technology Services connected the firm to Colt PrizmNet at LD4 via a single pair of resilient cross-connects and enabled it to use PrizmNet Online for quotes, onboarding, and connection management. As a result, Global Asset Management Firm is consolidating connectivity to around 20 trading partners and most major European market data feeds, with lower cost, less complexity, and near-real-time visibility into connection performance. Colt Technology Services delivered a secure, high-performance solution that simplified access to the broader capital markets ecosystem.
