NetworkFlow

Following a high profile dispute with former employer UBS - the Swiss Bank, Wealth Management start-up Vestra Wealth has hooked into NetworkFlow’s next generation MPLS cloud to safeguard its vital stock exchange data feeds and private client information.

Opening for business just days before the start of the financial meltdown, Vestra Wealth is unfazed by the timing. Founder David Scott believes the turmoil "makes people reassess advisers...", and expects to see new clients moving from big banks in search of smaller independent wealth managers. He aims to create a mid-sized business that sits between global wealth managers and small boutiques and is keen to return to "old fashioned levels of service delivered in a progressive way.”

"Launching in the middle of a credit crisis gives you a chance to show how well you can do," he adds. “But a cost effective, state of the art network is crucial to our success, with zero downtime a must.”

Lee Swanton, IT Systems Manager at Vestra Wealth, explains: “The nature of our business meant that very high bandwidth was a must, to guarantee the Bloomberg and Reuters feeds. We found NetworkFlow on the Internet and were instantly impressed with their pricing, service and turnaround.”

Swanton continues: “From day one, the team at NetworkFlow offered exceptional service, from taking the hassle of landlord wayleaves off our hands, to providing a 100Mb cloud, connection to our disaster recovery site, and a SIP line for future voice requirements. They are professional, honest and focused on our needs. As a start-up I couldn’t ask for more.”

David Alexander, commercial director of NetworkFlow comments: “Given the current downturn, businesses of all sizes need a cost-effective network solution from a team they can trust. Our next generation core network allows us to reduce cost and complexity and provide them with a solution that meets their budgets.”
