    Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms

    Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today. Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk. Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks. Key Topics: - Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges - The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events) - Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources - Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture - The concept of a "risk-aware CRM" - Built-in risk management in Altima Prop #Altima #financemagnates #iFXDubai #FinTech #BrokerTech #PropFirm #CFDBroker #TradingTechnology #RealTimeData #RiskManagement #CRM #FinancialMarkets #EventDrivenArchitecture
