Uudistushanke toteutettiin 22 kuukauden ennätysajassa. TCS:n BaNCS for Market Infrastucture -alusta mukana siirtymässä kohti yhteiseurooppalaista T2S-järjestelmää.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on tänään ilmoittanut, että Suomen arvo-osuusjärjestelmän hallinnoija Euroclear Finland on ottanut käyttöön uuden Infinity-rahamarkkinajärjestelmän. Ensimmäistä fixed income -luokan vaiheen käyttöönottoa edelsi 22 kuukauden implementointijakso. Seuraavat vaiheet toteutetaan vuoden 2016 aikana, ja ympäristön osana otetaan käyttöön uusi keskusrekisteri ja osakemarkkinajärjestelmä.
Monivuotisen Infinity-hankkeen pohjana toimii TCS:n BaNCS for Market Infrastucture -alusta. Infinity on olennainen osa Euroclear Finlandin arvopaperiselvityksen siirtymistä TARGET2-Securities-selvitysjärjestelmään (T2S) osana Euroopan keskuspankin neljättä siirtymävaihetta helmikuussa 2017. TCS BaNCS valittiin hankkeeseen vuonna 2013. BaNCS-alustaratkaisu T2S-erikoisosaamisineen on ollut mukana lukuisissa rahamarkkinajärjestelmähankkeiden infrastruktuuriuudistuksissa eri puolilla maailmaa. Infinity-hankkeessa TCS BaNCS toimittaa Euroclearille liiketoimintoja helpottavan yhdistetyn alustan, joka tukee rahamarkkinajärjestelmän eri osa-alueita.
"Suomen pääomamarkkinoiden siirtyessä kohti yhteistä T2S-järjestelmää halusimme uudistaa teknologiaratkaisumme hyvissä ajoin, jotta markkinat saavat tarvitsemansa ajan siirtymäprosessiin", sanoo Yannic Weber, Euroclear Finlandin ja Euroclear Swedenin toimitusjohtaja. "TCS Finance Solutions -yksikkö on auttanut meitä korvaamaan vanhan järjestelmän ja tuonut yhteen suuren määrän toiminnallisuuksia, jotka aiemmin pyörivät useilla eri alustoilla. Tulevina kuukausina työskentelemme yhteistyössä TCS:n kanssa muokaten toimintavarmaa infrastruktuuria, joka tukee yhtiötapahtumien koko elinkaarta, kaikissa eri omaisuusluokissa."
"TCS on toimittanut liiketoimintakriittisiä ratkaisuja markkinajärjestelmätoimijoille yli 20 vuoden ajan", sanoo TCS:n johtaja R. Vivekanand. "Ainutlaatuista TCS BaNCS:issa on sen kyky käsitellä kaikkia omaisuusluokkia, mikä tarkoittaa asiakkaillemme useiden eri alustojen korvautumista vain yhdellä. Olemme luoneet selkeän T2S-tiekartan auttaaksemme asiakkaitamme muutoksessa ja kilpailukyvyn kehittämisessä. Se, että Euroclear on valinnut TCS BaNCS-alustan, ja että hankkeen ensimmäinen vaihe on saatettu päätökseen, kertoo myös meidän omistautumisestamme tälle alueelle."

- Modernization program implemented in record 22 months
Mumbai, 20th May 2015: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, announced that its client - Euroclear Finland - the central securities depository (CSD) for the Finnish capital markets, has launched a new transaction processing platform known as ‘Infinity’.

Through Infinity, TCS BaNCS has provided Euroclear with a single, consolidated platform for depository, registry and corporate actions functions, thereby, enabling simplified business operations.
Commenting on the program, Mr. Yannic Weber, Chief Executive Officer, Euroclear Finland and Euroclear Sweden, said, “As the Finnish capital markets and its participants gear up for the wholesale migration of securities settlement to T2S in early 2017, we felt it right and prudent to modernize our core technology for asset servicing well ahead of the shift, to give the market the due time needed for this transition. TCS Financial Solutions has helped us replace legacy systems while also consolidating myriad functions that previously ran on multiple platforms. We look forward to working with Tata in the coming months as we forge ahead in our delivery reliable infrastructure to support the complete corporate actions lifecycle across all major asset classes.”
