Financial services companies are under intense pressure to stay within budget and to control expenditures on information technology. Yet, to satisfy customers and keep pace with huge (and growing) volumes of fast-changing data, they must continually develop and deploy high-performance applications and integrated solutions. It makes sense that the people responsible for the world’s money would choose technology that allows them to create solutions that are faster to build, and also run faster.

InterSystems Caché® is the high-performance object database that runs SQL faster than relational databases. By eliminating object-relational mapping, Caché dramatically accelerates application development and decreases time-to-market.

InterSystems Ensemble® is a rapid integration platform for connecting multiple systems and processes. It allows you to leverage existing applications – without rewriting them – by adding rich Web interfaces, adaptable workflow, rules-based business processes, and more.

Our high-performance software is ideal for the complex technology demands of the financial services industry, and powers mission-critical applications in over 300 financial institutions worldwide.

“A fixed income department at a tier-one firm took the shared memory concept in a different direction with a solution that originated largely from the health care industry. InterSystems Caché replaced messaging between a pricing group and a collection of traders where latency was in the 7–10 second range. Instead of looking at various middleware platforms for messaging, the firm decided to improve latency in this instance by implementing a request / response architecture against a data caching solution. By implementing the solution against a high-performance database, they were able to solve their reporting requirements as well as aggregate market data from multiple sources.”

A tier-one financial firm uses InterSystems Caché to improve latency. (Excerpted from a report by The Aite Group)

Caché is the built-in data repository for InterSystems
Ensemble, our rapid integration and development platform. Ensemble can cut IT project time in half for financial institutions that need high-speed messaging, an enterprise service bus, an SOA infrastructure, or composite applications.
