Consolidation on a unified Murex platform helps the bank accelerate its Digital Transformation journey by driving system efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Infosys, a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, has announced that it collaborated with Commerzbank, a leading German bank, and Murex, the global leader in trading, risk management and processing solutions for capital markets, on a successful go-live of a consolidated, unified trading platform that streamlines the bank’s business processes and IT landscape.
This joint project has enabled Commerzbank to consolidate FX, FX derivatives, equity and commodities onto Murex’s integrated MX.3 platform, thereby simplifying its operations, cutting costs, speeding up time to market and preparing for future challenges.
Within the project, Infosys supported Commerzbank in optimising utilisation of Murex’s comprehensive suite of solutions and services and carried out development, integration, testing and migration, alongside go-live and aftercare support.
Through this collaboration, Commerzbank’s trading operations saw substantial improvements. It also helped in the simplification of their technology landscape while reducing the cost of managing multiple servers and platforms, ultimately laying the foundation for business growth and scale.
Sebastian Kauck, CIO Corporate Clients, Commerzbank, said: “The successful platform consolidation is a major achievement after three years of hard work. Throughout this project, the collaboration of our internal teams with Murex, Infosys and other external partners has always been an integral part to its success. The new setup enables Commerzbank to significantly enhance process efficiency and simultaneously reduce costs. Additionally, it lays the foundation for future business growth as adapting to market changes can be done more swiftly.”
“Murex is proud to support Commerzbank in this model simplification journey,” said Luc Testud, Murex Managing Director, Central Europe. “This creates the opportunity for future expansion through an integrated cross-asset platform, accelerating time to market to innovate and enabling further steps of digitalisation.”
Dennis Gada, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Banking and Financial Services at Infosys, said: “We are delighted to collaborate with Commerzbank on their Digital Transformation journey towards a unified Murex platform for multiple asset classes. This consolidation has empowered Commerzbank to improve time to market, streamline operations, simplify the current technology landscape, promote standardisation and effectively manage regulatory changes while cultivating sustainable growth. This transformation has paved the way for future modernisation and digitisation of the bank.”
