ACCENTURE REFORMX 3
Murex is a powerful trading platform, renowned for the breadth of its asset class and functional coverage. Highly customizable, it can be tailored to the precise needs of your business.
In order to get the most out of the platform, and maximize efficiency within the development cycle, it is important that you have a robust development process in place. Keeping track of changes—who did what, when and why—is vital to ensure that nothing gets accidentally overwritten.
Doing this on a manual basis can prove cost and resource prohibitive. With multiple developers working at once, coordination can naturally become very difficult, increasing the risk of manual mistakes.
Accenture Reformx solves all of this. It is one of the most powerful, comprehensive and sophisticated end-to-end change management tools available for the platform. It provides completely automated version control, and allows users to easily compare environments to quickly spot specific changes and fixes.
The result is total visibility and full audit trails across the entire development and release cycle, from start to finish. Reformx makes configuring Murex as easy, efficient and straightforward as possible for all team members involved, from project and deployment managers through to developers and testers.
The Benefits
• Significant time and cost savings—Reformx can cut Murex development cycles by up to 20 percent
• Reduces the risk of manual errors and delays due to lack of team coordination
• A vital component for the implementation of continuous integration and delivery
TIME IS MONEY, AND REFORMX CAN CUT MUREX DEVELOPMENT AND RELEASE CYCLES BY UP TO 20%
