Customer Name:

SBI Capital Markets Ltd.

Introduction: 

SBI Capital Markets Limited (SBICAP) is registered with SEBI as a category I Merchant Banker and a Research Analyst.

Incorporated in 1986 as a wholly owned subsidiary of SBI, SBICAP is one of the oldest investment banks in India, dominating the Indian investment banking landscape for over 35 years.

They offer a complete solution by providing their clients with diversified corporate advisory and investment banking services, innovative ideas, and unparalleled execution.

Challenges:

As a Banking and Investment firm, SBI Capital Markets Ltd is required to maintain frequent and real-time communication between multi-located branch offices as well as customers. With multi-located branch offices, communication can prove to be a costly affair, if communication devices are not chosen wisely. Apart from cost-related challenges, they faced technical challenges with analog terminals, like access to IP-based features. The devices already in use incurred recurring costs and lacked advanced features.

To elaborate:

• Call Cost: Licenses acquired through a subscription-based model proved to be costly and recurring.
• Redundancy: Seamless communication is only possible if there is Active-Active redundancy (both servers keep running in parallel and the system stops only if both servers stop functioning) which was lagging, in this case.
• Outdated Phone Features: The lack of advanced features like Abbreviated Dialing, Call Pick Up and Internal Call Restriction, prevented them from becoming efficient in day-to-day operations.
• Centralized Management: The absence of arrangements to manage multi-located offices from a single location.
