Murex and AWS Forge Multi-Year Strategic Collaboration to Elevate Managed Services in Capital Markets
Murex, a global leader in enterprise-wide, cross-asset financial technology solutions, has announced a multi-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN). This landmark partnership builds on the longstanding relationship between the two organizations and marks a significant step forward in Murex’s mission to deliver cutting-edge managed services for financial institutions worldwide.
The agreement is the culmination of months of intensive technical collaboration, enabling Murex to further scale its flagship MX.3 platform into a robust suite of managed services powered by AWS. Financial institutions leveraging Murex’s solutions can now access unparalleled functional coverage while benefiting from industry-leading security standards, operational excellence, and the ability to adapt to evolving regulatory requirements.
Accelerating Deployment and Innovation with AWS
This collaboration accelerates the initial deployment and simplifies frequent upgrades of Murex’s solutions, empowering financial institutions to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market. A key focus of the agreement is the expansion of Murex’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering, MXSaaS, and its innovative cloud-native solution, XVA as a Service. Both offerings are now available through flexible, turnkey services on AWS, providing clients with enhanced scalability, flexibility, and resilience.
XVA as a Service, in particular, harnesses the power of AWS elastic computing to deliver sophisticated risk analytics at scale. By leveraging AWS’s advanced infrastructure, Murex ensures that its clients have access to real-time, data-driven insights to manage complex trading and risk scenarios effectively. The value of this collaboration has already been demonstrated, with Murex adding four new customers to MXSaaS since the agreement was finalized in June. This growth underscores the maturity and reliability of MXSaaS as a service offering, solidifying its position as a trusted solution for financial institutions.
Enhancing Agility, Flexibility, and Resilience
By running on AWS, Murex’s managed services gain significant advantages in agility, flexibility, and resiliency across its entire solution suite. These benefits are achieved through advanced technical process automation, performance monitoring, and proactive incident management. Clients experience improved runtime trend identification, faster time-to-market for new features, and reduced service disruptions. These enhancements ensure that financial institutions can focus on their core business objectives without being encumbered by operational complexities.
The collaboration also enables Murex to optimize client experiences by streamlining operations and delivering consistent, high-quality service. With AWS’s proven infrastructure, Murex can provide secure, compliant, and efficient solutions that meet the rigorous demands of today’s capital markets.
Scaling Operations for Future Growth
As part of this strategic initiative, Murex is making substantial investments to scale MXSaaS operations globally. The company is equipping its FinOps and DevOps practices with state-of-the-art technologies to enhance efficiency and innovation. Additionally, Murex is expanding its global team to support a growing percentage of its existing and future customer base. This investment reflects Murex’s commitment to delivering world-class managed services that cater to the diverse needs of financial institutions across banking, capital markets, and asset management.
Addressing Industry Challenges with Cloud-Based Solutions
Financial institutions face mounting pressure from macroeconomic volatility, stringent regulatory requirements, and escalating cybersecurity threats. Running mission-critical trading and risk management platforms requires significant infrastructure investment and specialized resources to maintain operational resilience and performance. According to Elias Eddé, CEO of Murex, “Jointly with AWS, Murex delivers these platforms as a service today, powered by AWS, extending capabilities that Murex has developed over years of collaboration with AWS.”
Charlie Sanderson, Director of EMEA Technology Partners at AWS, echoed this sentiment, stating, “Financial institutions across banking, capital markets, and asset management are increasingly seeking cloud-based solutions that reduce operational complexity while providing access to innovation. This collaboration combines AWS’s proven infrastructure with Murex’s capital markets expertise to help customers increase agility and time-to-market, while maintaining the highest levels of security, compliance, and efficiency.”
A Strategic Shift Toward Cloud-Native Innovation
The partnership between Murex and AWS represents a strategic shift toward cloud-native innovation in the financial services industry. By leveraging AWS’s scalable and resilient infrastructure, Murex is well-positioned to address the evolving needs of its clients. The collaboration not only enhances Murex’s existing offerings but also paves the way for future innovations in trading, risk management, and beyond.
For financial institutions, this means access to a comprehensive suite of managed services that simplify operations, reduce costs, and enable them to respond swiftly to market changes. As the demand for cloud-based solutions continues to grow, partnerships like this will play a crucial role in shaping the future of financial technology.
