Infosys assisted Clearstream in driving end-to-end implementation and customisation

Within the project, Infosys assisted Clearstream in driving end-to-end implementation, customisation, and deployment alongside go-live and aftercare support. The platform has set a foundation of institutional-grade, digital asset infrastructure to unlock the tremendous value of asset tokenisation and digital assets.

Daniel Besse, Clearstream CTO, said, "The successful release of D7 Generation 2 is a major achievement and sets the standard for our clients and the industry as a whole, making the digital issuance process faster, easier, and more efficient. Throughout this project, the collaboration of Clearstream and Infosys has been very productive."

Digitisation of financial markets

Besse added: "The enhanced platform lays the foundation for future digitisation of financial markets as adapting to market changes can be done expeditiously. Being an innovation pacesetter in the securities industry, Clearstream has enabled over 150,000 digital issuances via D7 already today, which is more than any digital issuance platform globally."

Dennis Gada, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Banking & Financial Services, Infosys, said, "We are delighted to have collaborated with Clearstream, part of Deutsche Börse, on their digital transformation journey towards the D7 platform for issuance of securities. This integration has empowered Clearstream to enhance time-to-market, streamline operations, simplify their technology landscape, and effectively manage regulatory changes, all while fostering sustainable growth. This transformation sets an example for future modernisation and digitisation of the securities and stock exchange industry."
