Murex has been positioned the furthest along the ability to execute axis (D.Furlonger, F.Chesini, December 2015).

“We are delighted that Murex is positioned in the Leaders Quadrant. We feel this result is a validation of our market understanding and our ability to leverage our vision, a vision of solutions that strive to support a wide range of financial institutions as they redefine their technology infrastructure” says Stella Clarke, Murex, Chief Marketing Officer.

With 30 years of expertise and a steadfast dedication to the financial industry, Murex demonstrates a strong track record in helping institutions respond to evolving market conditions and convert constraints into business opportunities.

In the late 90s, Murex introduced the first front-to-back cross-asset platform. Building from this, Murex pursued the integration strategy of its platform model, leading to complete front-to-back-to-risk coverage. MX.3, Murex’s innovative third generation platform, ensures consistency of position and calculation at each step of the value chain and powerful real-time capabilities. In today’s environment, it is more and more critical for financial institutions to be able to adjust to intensified regulatory pressure and absorb swiftly waves of risk-related requirements. Murex provides the framework that allows them to adapt and thrive.

Years of investment and innovation in the MX.3 platform have led to the successful delivery of enterprise collateral and risk management solutions. These cutting-edge solutions are available in stand-alone or integrated mode, competing with best-of-breed solutions for market, credit and liquidity risk. Murex’s latest release expertly supports banks in preparing for the Basel 3 capital charge requirements, notably enabling SA-CCR calculations and FRTB compliance.

 “R&D is part of our DNA. As well as continuing to extend the functional richness of the MX.3 platform, we have also successfully transformed our architecture, with increased focus on service and components. The aim of this transformation is to adapt the delivery of our solutions to our clients’ ecosystem, whether by anchoring a client’s strategy in our integrated front-to-back-to-risk solutions or filling in the gap with our best-of-breed, stand-alone solutions” comments Stella Clarke, Murex, Chief Marketing Officer.

Murex’s ethos of constant innovation is visible in its solutions and has permeated the industry as a whole. Murex combines a deep understanding of its clients’ businesses, a strong R&D investment strategy and a unique support and delivery model.
