Murex has launched a new version of the MX.3 platform to be deployed at EDF, the producer and supplier of energy, headquartered in France.
EDF will utilise the MX.3 platform through a managed services offering for the administration of its capital markets operations, executing daily investment activities.
The solution offers an integrated view of all positions and market data for decision making in uncertain, volatile markets.
The new MX.3 version incorporates DevOps and Agile methodologies, with end-to-end testing that accurately measures end-user experience throughout the project.
Teams managing MX.3 at EDF are made up of financial and technical experts who will contribute as needed to support the business functions, EDF says.
Murex was supported in the project by its partner, Synechron, the systems integrator responsible for updating and maintaining the Murex platform.
Collaboration between the EDF, Murex and Synechron teams facilitated user requirements identification, scope definition, testing and deployment to production.
Romain Kerfant, project manager for the Murex application at EDF, says: “EDF operational teams now benefit from the full capabilities of Murex technology. The excellent flexibility that Murex and Synechron have been able to implement in variable health and technological contexts is a strong factor in the success of the project.”
Luc Testud, business manager of the France and Benelux regions at Murex, comments: “Over a period of 10 months, Synechron and Murex have deployed a sophisticated solution that enables EDF users to achieve a high level of productivity.”
He adds: “From the outset, the upgrade project was conceptualised and designed to meet the requirements of traders and IT teams. This new MX.3 version will allow EDF to continue its rapid growth, with full confidence it has partners capable of adapting to its business and technological requirements."
