single integrated platform. The integration allows brokerage firms, complete
control over their large span of business operations in real-time. The CEOs

liabilities in real-time. Brokerage firms will have a better control of their
operations on a volatile day deploying the GO TX platform.

provider to large financial institutions."

concerns completely and enjoy the freedom of 'pay as you grow".
