Case Study: A Top Japanese Investment & Securities Firm achieves rapid launch of world-class FX margin trading with Altibase

Altibase helped the company launch a cutting-edge FX margin trading service, enhancing profitability and scale

Japanese Investment & Securities Firm, a top Japanese investment & securities firm focused on research-driven trading, was lagging behind competitors in FX margin trading and could not afford a lengthy in-house build. The company needed a rapid, high-performance, multi-channel FX margin trading platform with nonstop reliability and a resilient back-end database; it selected Altibase via the IIJ Raptor Service to meet those needs.

Altibase’s hybrid architecture and synchronous replication were embedded in the IIJ Raptor Service, allowing the firm to launch its FX margin trading system in early 2011 in under two months. With Altibase the platform runs 24/7, processes more than 1,000 FX TPS across web, mobile and rich clients, performs mark-to-market in one second, improved regulatory compliance and risk control, and drove new client acquisition and revenue growth.
