Reasons to Subscribe and Scale with Integral

Switching from technology that prices on ‘per million dollars’ traded fee to a fixed monthly subscription empowers retail brokers to scale without penalty – turning growth into an advantage, not a cost. With a subscription model, trade flows may increase but your technology fee is constant.

The reason to choose Integral is also straightforward – it offers resilience through high-performance technology, reliability with ultra-modern cloud services, and scalability to connect anywhere, automate any workflow, and seamlessly expand into new markets.

1. Institutional grade tech – affordable resilience

Integral technology is founded on the basic principle that our tried-and-tested technology, used by some of the largest financial institutions in the world, should be made widely available.

That means brokers get access to a platform and tools that would previously have been unattainable to all but those with the biggest budgets and largest dedicated IT teams.

No two brokers are the same and so Integral’s technology is designed to be highly configurable, so firms can tailor trade workflows to fit their operations and the varying needs of their customer base. The software stack is highly resilient and offers failover capabilities, as one might expect given its institutional grade. Hence, increased workflows and trading throughput can be handled without causing breaks in service – even in the most volatile markets.

2. Cloud – low maintenance and secure

There are two reasons why inflexible, unscalable legacy systems have to go. They lack the features and real-time response needed to succeed in modern brokerage, but perhaps even worse, their unpredictable maintenance bills makes them expensive to run.

Firms become reliant on their vendors’ IT teams to keep patching, securing and updating a system they would rather ditch, but are unsure how to replace.

That’s why joining Integral, a service hosted in the cloud, makes so much more sense. Maintenance is included so the best and latest, most secure platform is always available, without internal teams having to down tools while the IT team patches the system.

3. Flexibility and scale

A cloud-hosted service allows brokers to scale and deliver their ambitious plans for growth. Storage, and the associated security and maintenance offering, can be dialled up and down with ease.

Integral technology also offers the benefits of an API-first approach – this empowers brokers to add new services to their tech stack with ease. Add to this the flexibility of Integral’s software – which also covers precious metals, crypto and CFDs in addition to FX – brokers can grow not only in the areas they know but also enter new markets with ease.

Just one more thing… what our clients say

Don’t just take our word for it. Singaporean broker Phillip Nova works in multiple markets, including FX, CFD, futures and commodities.

It wanted the reassurance of moving to a subscription model and chose Integral. Not only has the firm never looked back, it now sees Integral as more than a software provider. It is an enabler of growth that connects and offers a smooth flow of trades across multiple operations throughout a diverse range of global markets.

Grace Chan, Executive Director at Phillip Nova explains.

“For the subscription model to be truly effective, we need Integral to support our ambitions to expand into new client segments beyond our current retail base.

As Phillip Nova scales its business across the global Phillip Capital network offices, we also need Integral to help us cater to this global integration. This includes offering robust support and the ability to handle increased transaction volumes across different regions, while maintaining high performance.

The combination of scalability, integration, and global support is essential to help us grow and serve a wider range of clients with the same level of excellence.”
