JPMorgan Follows the Sun With Custody Offering

December 11, 2001 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - A new product unveiled Tuesday by JPMorgan Investor Services gives custody clients 24/7 technical and functional support worldwide.

Follow  the  Sun  gives  Investor Services clients continuous phone support through a rotating help desk that takes advantage of JPMorgan’s regional  service  center network in Dallas, Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, and London, the company said in a press release.

Follow the Sun callers conducting business after hours in the US, for instance, may be supported by a customer service representative  in  Singapore.  Local language  experts  are available.

Follow  the Sun uses Voice-over-IP technology and  Intelligent Call Routing to give clients phone support. Voice-over-IP technology routes speech through a network to deliver it over the Internet.

This feature gives users the flexibility to connect from any Internet connection.

Intelligent Call Routing lets the system direct calls based on country of origin or area code, so a caller in Germany will be routed to a native-speaking phone agent.
