Infosys, a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, 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 optimizing utilization of Murex's comprehensive suite of solutions and services and carried out development, integration, testing & 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.”
