Eurex Clearing’s C7: Planned enhancements for 2018

With this circular, Eurex Clearing provides an overview of the planned continuous enhancements of the C7 Clearing architecture.

After the successful migration of collateral management services functionality last year, Eurex Clearing continues to reduce infrastructure complexity for clients and Eurex Clearing by moving the Cash Payment Services and the Risk Protection Service from the Eurex Clearing classic system to the C7 infrastructure. The migration of both services will be realised together with C7 Release 4.1 on 3 December 2018.

In addition, Eurex Clearing’s internal end-of-day processing will be optimised in order to technically support Eurex Exchange’s trading hours extension.

As outlined in this circular, further functionality will be introduced independent from the release cycle. This approach allows for more flexibility to meet customer requirements in a timely manner. A dedicated simulation phase will be offered for these new functionalities.

Please review if you have registered and/or updated your Release Contacts for Eurex Clearing’s C7 via the Member Section on the Eurex Clearing website www.eurexclearing.com, as further communication regarding C7 Release 4.1 will only be distributed via Newsflashes to registered Release Contacts.
