InterSystems Data Platform in a Fortune 100 Investment Bank

bright lights of a screen showing data in a graph

CUSTOMER: Fortune 100 Investment Bank

CHALLENGE: The development manager at a top global investment bank needed to find a solution to meet the following demands of his organization’s business.

OUTCOME: The client deployed InterSystems data platform to address both the business and technical challenges.

 

  • The customer management application must support the ability to answer ad-hoc queries about an end customer’s assets
  • The same system must support the ability to report traceability to show that trades were in compliance
  • The customer management application must scale dynamically and respond to queries in milliseconds, not seconds
  • The underlying database must be able to handle big data volumes (TBs) of trade data from across the firm
  • The underlying system must scale with increasing demands of velocity, variety, and volume of data
  • The system must reduce infrastructure costs

Technical Challenge

The firm’s data was archived into a Hadoop data lake. The architecture had the following limitations:

  • The data lake was good for basic historical analysis but could not support real-time, current data streams
  • Performance was barely acceptable and had limitations on scaling out
  • The application could not provide data drill down for analysis reporting (Hive only supported simple SQL queries, no joins)
  • The application could not support more advanced, analytical needs

InterSystems Data Platform

  • HDFS was integrated with the data platform to combine terabytes of historical data with current transactions
  • The data platform’s persistent store and cached data layer was architected to support the needs of different lines of business. A single deployed reference architecture supported ad-hoc user defined queries with high performance
  • InterSystems data platform supports complex SQL queries across all applications while meeting SLAs
  • InterSystems data platform for financial services uniquely combines shared-nothing and shared- everything architectures. It proved to be the only option in the market that could provide the required performance at scale
  • The reduced costs requirement was met because InterSystems data platform’s ‘cloud-friendly architecture’ does not require specialized hardware. The application could be configured to run (and scale) on commodity hardware

Healthcare Providers
Surprisingly, the top three indicators of life expectancy in the U.S. for a given population are per capita nursing home residency, mental health challenges, and prevalence of tooth loss¹. The income level, access to care, stress, and other social factors behind these indicators have a greater impact on health than genetics or access to healthcare services². However, historically, social determinants of health have not received enough attention in clinical care.
Integration Across the Delivery Network (IDN)
The developers at this large U.S. integrated delivery network (IDN) have no patience for integration engines that mindlessly do one job and one job only. Since replacing an old engine with InterSystems integration technology over a decade ago, the IDN has seen InterSystems solutions solve multiple problems to power growth, save employee time, and reduce costs. In one project alone, InterSystems saved them $100,000. Other examples of benefits delivered using InterSystems integration technology include:
As healthcare payers and providers use different information systems, patients can get caught in the middle and forced to bridge the gap with cumbersome processes.
