Automate, accelerate, and scale with MX.3
There are many benefits to gain by running MX.3 installations on the cloud. Successful financial institutions adopt an approach that progressively delivers changes that become transformative. Having the right software solution enabling the transformation to leverage the cloud capabilities is key.
Murex’s cloud journey, started back in 2017, has been delivering value incrementally, making the leverage of IaaS easier and more and more attractive for MX.3.

Where are you in your cloud journey for your core capital markets platform?
Accenture has been helping Murex clients transform their front, middle and back office operations and risk management functions, including collateral management and treasury operations, for more than 20 years. Our future-ready solutions include system transformation, DevOps enablers, cloud, continuous testing, upgrades and managed services.
Business activities are more and more demanding on the infrastructure with the introduction of ever more complex regulations and derivatives.
- Compliance with regulations requiring computation of risk over hundreds of scenarios and time points.
- Large transformation programs mobilize teams that must collaborate efficiently and where each configuration builder needs its own MX.3 installation to create and test configuration.
- Learn how MX.3 manages complex derivatives, such as autocallables.
Build once, deploy multiple times.
Automate
- Using infrastructure as code enables to spin up very easily a new MX.3 development or test installation.
Boost productivity
- The combination of speed (new environments are delivered in minutes) and simplicity (click of a button) increases efficiency.
Multiply
- Each developer can have its own MX.3 environment to build and test new configurations.
Innovate
- Outsourcing the infrastructure allows to focus more on business value.
Last year was exceptional. Capital markets coped with record trading volatility and volumes. The MX.3 platform is designed with built-in scalability and managed the rise in transaction volume and the need to compute risk measures in a timely manner. Running a scalable platform on an easily scalable infrastructure is key.
Horizontal and vertical
- MX.3 delivers horizontal and vertical scalability.
Performance
- Monitor continuously and adjust the cloud sizing to achieve targeted performance.
Grid computing
- Computations necessary for pricing analytics or risk are natively distributed across a grid.
- Read about DBS usage of hybrid grid computing with MX.3 and learn more about MX.3 analytics.
Flexibility
- Cloud scalability offers to get all MX.3 development and tests installations required during project times and to minimize the number of MX.3 instances during BAU periods.
For on-premises infrastructure, clients must be able to precisely assess actual costs without omitting anything—even though there might be many facilities, services and technical layers shared across the entire enterprise, posing challenges.
On the cloud infrastructure, it is much simpler: every item required to run MX.3 has its own unit price and the total cost of ownership of infrastructure becomes highly transparent and explainable.
Moving MX.3 to the cloud would be a real benefit for your business and operations. Discover how DXC Luxoft can support your migration journey by reducing costs, risk and disruption, while increasing speed, security and flexibility.
Real-time monitoring
- Each cloud resource used to run MX.3 installations can be tracked with granularity due to tools provided by the cloud vendor. One can follow actual consumption in real-time.
Reality checking
- Estimating potentially future hardware needs has too often meant playing it safe. With cloud, you adjust as frequently as needed thanks to the data collected of the actual usage.
Control and optimized TCO
- For MX.3 development and test installations, a flexible pay-as-you-go model of the cloud provides quick savings because such workloads are used only part time.
- For BCP/Disaster Recovery, the compute power must be able to be ramp up at any time—there is no reason to rent it outside test and disaster circumstances.
- Certain workloads such as pricing on grid or enterprise market risk calculations are typically run once a day or on demand. Why pay for resources when they are idle? MX.3 scalability combined with the cloud elasticity bring solutions to this equation from a cost perspective in addition to the opportunity to more quickly finish those computations.
A new implementation of MX.3 may begin directly on the cloud and progressively leverage additional cloud features.
Existing implementations of MX.3 adopt a phased approach assisted by Murex System Integrators who have rich experience in such projects.
In this video, learn more about this longstanding relationship between AWS and Murex, that spans the complete spectrum of Murex offerings including enabling customers to run MX.3 within their own AWS environment to partnering with Murex to enable and launch MX.3 SaaS on AWS.

Our clients testify
We wanted to scale the infrastructure to provision environments to meet growing business needs. AWS gave us the scalability and flexibility we were seeking. Moving to a pay-per-usage model enabled cost efficiencies that were previously not possible when we had to resource for peak capacity.
Sylvain Gagnon, Software System Specialist at NBC, Canada
Migrating MX.3 to AWS alleviated an investment in on-premises hardware and eliminated the risk of over-and under-provisioning Momentum Metropolitan’s on-premises environment. We have the processing agility and capacity to use more model points in our risk calculations and we can model over longer periods, giving us improved confidence over our near-term results.
Stephen Jones, Head of Group Finance and BSM IT, Momentum Metropolitan
With its full turnkey SaaS model, Murex takes ownership of the MX.3 platform for production management, maintenance, disaster recovery, deployment and monitoring, as well as incident and change management. Whether it is interest rates, foreign exchange or commodities, ATB’s Enterprise Trading Platform enables us to better support our customers’ complex trading needs.
Chris Turchansky, Chief Experience Officer, ATB, Canada
One deciding factor was the flexibility of Murex’s fully managed private SaaS solution, which now allows the bank to customize business processes, boost innovation and maximize resilience. We can customize business processes, increase innovation and configure user preferences.
Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, Italy
We are glad to be the first to benefit from the Murex and AWS collaboration. Murex is at the core of our Treasury and Markets technology platform and we are already reaping the benefits of AWS Cloud’s elasticity for our grid computing infrastructure.
David Gledhill, Group Chief Information Officer and Head of Group Technology and Operations, DBS Bank, Singapore
In 2020, our corporate strategy switched toward a SaaS first approach. This led us to consider Murex SaaS and outsource all technical tasks related to MX.3.
Asset Manager, North America
This externalization will enable our treasury to better focus on its core business of funding the bank, hedging its risk exposures and proposing solutions to its internal and external customers, while always being assured that its activity is supported by a platform that is kept up to date with business and technical standards, with almost no effort from our internal teams.
Local Retail Bank, Continental Eastern Europe
With this new operating model, we are following our global IT strategy and we believe that this move will allow us to dedicate our IT resources on innovations and to reduce the time to market for new requirements of the business.
Large Financial Corporation, Asia
The MX.3 SaaS lift and shift was completed in five months (excluding the initial project preparation work). The best testament of the success of the project was that the project was delivered on time and budget and the traders did not even notice the change after the go-live.
Large Bank, Northern Europe
