Case Study: IG Group achieves 7x faster customer onboarding with Forward Predict from Forward Networks

IG Group Holdings PLC speeds customer onboarding 7x with Forward Networks

IG Group Holdings PLC, a global fintech company, faced the challenge of managing constant network changes while ensuring security, resilience, and uptime for its highly regulated trading platforms. Their network engineering team struggled with a slow, risky change process that required late-night maintenance windows and offered no certainty of the outcome until a change was live. They turned to vendor Forward Networks and its Forward Predict platform to gain confidence in their network operations.

The solution implemented by Forward Networks used its Forward Predict platform to create a mathematically accurate digital twin of IG Group's production network. This allowed the team to verify the outcome of changes and test failover scenarios without risk before deployment. As a result, Forward Networks helped IG Group accelerate its customer onboarding process by 7x, reduce late-night change windows, and move toward an autonomous networking future with greater confidence and efficiency.
