CMC Markets, a FTSE 250 financial services company, has been running a successful trading platform for more than 30 years and is now undertaking a broad and ambitious transformation to take advantage of new technologies and ways of working. One vital aspect of a successful transformation for a company like CMC Markets is a data approach that can scale. Traditionally, many organizations have handled data in a way that is too siloed, centralized, or detached from the core of the business. Therefore they have embraced the Data Mesh approach, which they believe will enable an their company to deliver data-based products rapidly and successfully, and more broadly to reposition data at the center of IT and the business.

In the presentation, Lorenzo Nicora, Michał Stypik, and Tareq Abedrabbo of the Core Data team at CMC Markets will be sharing the story of the journey so far, in the trenches. They will highlight the architectural, technical, and organizational challenges they had to address, while identifying the approaches they took to shift the organization towards a Data Mesh and to build the required capabilities (e.g. Data Discovery and bridging the gap between cloud/on-premise data systems). They hope that the learnings they will share will be of interest to anyone else embarking on a similar journey or considering it.

The team will be available for a Q&A following the presentation.
