PIMCO

Business:

ACCELERATE FIRM GROWTH. Use in-house communication tools to leverage principals’ time with clients, associates and the media.

Design:

Strategically placed near the trading floor, PIMCO’s conference center saves precious travel time for its financial professionals. The environment discreetly incorporates a multitude of computers to generate financial models; microphones to promote open dialogue amongst up to ninety local participants; and cameras to allow participation from distant sites.

Technology:

The conference center supports multiple functions: meetings for ninety, videoconferences for eight, and live network broadcast of one-to-one interviews. As principals develop strategy, interact with clients, and role-play with colleagues, they mentor others in the firm who observe by videoconference or digital streaming. Sessions are also easily recorded and edited in-house, to create training materials and marketing media.
