Iress powers global financial resilience with advanced networking

How Iress built a resilient, AI ready network backbone with Lumen across Asia Pacific and North America.

A network built for reliability, trust and AI‑ready growth

Iress is a global financial services technology provider, delivering the infrastructure behind trading, wealth management and investment research for thousands of users worldwide. As Iress moved towards an AI‑driven operating model, it needed a network partner that could deliver highly reliable connectivity across Australia, Singapore, Canada, the UK and South Africa, with no single points of failure. Working with Lumen, Iress built a resilient, hybrid backbone using diverse Wave and Ethernet connectivity and dedicated cloud connections. The result is a stable, AI‑ready foundation, backed by transparent pre‑sales and post‑sales engineering that helps Iress support its clients with confidence.
