Case Study: Rathbones achieves scalable, high-performance and compliant investment systems with InterSystems Caché

Rathbones uses InterSystems Caché to deliver scalability, reliability and high performance that support rapid growth

Rathbones, a leading UK investment manager, faced inflexible legacy back‑office systems, rising regulatory demands and growing user expectations for personalised front‑office tools as the firm expanded. The IT team needed to modernise interfaces, unlock valuable data, ensure security and compliance, and deliver scalable, high‑performance systems to support rapid growth.

Rathbones deployed InterSystems Caché as its core operational database, modernising the UI, enabling direct SQL access and using Caché’s rapid development to tightly integrate front‑office and operational systems. Paired with SSDs, Caché delivered 3×–55× performance gains, real‑time analytics, granular security and high scalability—improving efficiency, compliance and client service while providing a platform for future growth.
