We strive to provide friction-free access to liquidity and capital markets and allow our business to efficiently expand.

The PH App framework was built internally to deliver automated workflows to diverse areas of the business using centralised data sources.

 

Infrastructure Technology is responsible for delivering and maintaining the core IT infrastructure that underpins the company; hardware and software, mail and telephony, security and business continuity.

Solutions that allowed us to respond quickly and effectively to events such as Covid-19 and shifting to fully remote working.

 

 

Cyber & information security

Protecting it from compromise or attack to maintaining data confidentiality, integrity and availability are all integral aspects to the solutions we develop and deploy.

 

Service desk

The Service Desk is focused on supporting and enabling our staff through the technical solutions we offer. This starts with the technology they interact with everyday such as desktops, laptops and phones, and extends to our meeting room and AV solutions. We further optimise their ability to work flexibly and collaborate through tools such as Zoom, Jabber and Outlook Mobile.

 

Core infrastructure
