TCS’ software platform for Australian stock exchange
Here is your daily dose of key developments from the technology world of India.
TCS signs agreement with Australian Securities Exchange
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has signed an agreement with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) to provide a next-generation clearing and settlement platform to service the Australian market. ASX will implement TCS’ flagship product TCS BaNCS for Market Infrastructure to enable the transformation.
TCS' product will be used to replace ASX’s existing platform for cash equities clearing and settlement. The new platform will be on a state-of-the-art technology stack with TCS BaNCS for Market Infrastructure and is proposed to be implemented in two releases.
While the clearing service is expected to be delivered in the first phase, the settlement depository and sub‐register services will follow in the second phase. This staged approach is expected to reduce overall delivery risk and help manage the impact on industry stakeholders.
The agreement with ASX further fortifies its footprint in Australia, one of TCS’ fastest growing geographies, with its strong local partner network, expertise in cutting-edge technologies, investments in research and innovation, and deep domain knowledge of the banking, financial services, and insurance sector for over 30 years.
TCS BaNCS for Market Infrastructure is an industry-first solution designed specifically for central securities depositories (CSDs), central counterparty clearing houses (CCPs), exchanges, and central banks. With an ability to support multiple markets, currencies, and asset classes, it has been adopted by market infrastructure institutions in more than 20 countries.
