March 31, 2009: Telecom Ramblings, a global industry blog that is written by Rob Powell who is located in China, interviewed a Jaymie Scotto & Associates client:  Hibernia Atlantic.  The details of the interview are posted directly at Telecom Ramblings, here is a taste of what is there to check out (with a direct link to the full interview to follow):

TR: Where does Hibernia Atlantic see demand coming from in 2009?

EG: In 2009 we see demand coming from continued Global IP companies like the Tiscali’s and Cogent’s, as well as HD Broadcasters and Global Financial Markets.

TR: How has the economic crisis affected your sales pipeline overall?

EG: Due to the global financial climate, we’ve seen longer sales cycles and more eyeballs reviewing each & every contract.  Not a bad thing as everyone needs to be accountable.

TR: Your Global Financial Network launched during one of the toughest times for the financial industry in history. What effects have you seen from the crisis on its roll-out?

EG: We are not the incumbent carriers in these accounts which tend to have an embedded base of circuits…already nailed up.  Hibernia is  in a good position, having between 2-10 circuits into each of these financial customers provides us with tremendous upside and more opportunities.  It gives us only the ability to grow unlike the at&t’s and Verizon’s which will inevitably lose business as consolidation of networks and financial organizations take place.  We’re also connecting with new financial institutions such as algorithmic traders, market data organizations and financial exchanges.  They are looking for new and innovative wholesale carriers that can provide customized solutions and builds.  These financials demand a single connection into the GFN network that will enable them to gain access to over 750+ global banks, financial exchanges and trading platforms.  These savvy customers require a nimble organization that can provide them with speed and accuracy.  Speed to market and install our product set into their destinations of choice. Accuracy in what we say we can do…we will.  For example:  (We are providing these financial organizations with a 5~day turn-up…or a free month of service as a credit).
