Overview:
Calypso is a global application software provider that delivers an integrated suite of trading applications to the capital markets function within banks and other companies participating in the world’s financial markets.
The Calypso Trading and Risk Management Platform is an integrated application suite designed from the outset to be a front to back office, cross-asset platform for derivative and treasury products that readily adapts to change. Calypso provides an open, modern platform that adapts to our customers’ needs today and in the future.
With over 15,000 users at more than 80 top tier customers, including seven of the top ten global banks, Calypso has been recognized for its award-winning product innovations and strong customer service culture.
Single asset class trading systems have become unsustainable in a global, dynamic environment. Having multiple platforms for the same asset classes increases operating costs and complexity, and diverges from current trading strategies. In addition, they increase maintenance, infrastructure and training costs while diverting resources from other strategic projects.
The Accenture Core Trading and Settlement Services offering encompass consulting, technology and outsourcing services around trading and risk management operations. Thus, we help capital market firms by transforming their front-, middle-, and back-office trading operations and risk management departments into a holistic trading landscape, able to cope with future industry challenges.
This includes e.g. design, development and implementation of trading systems – either custom build or leading software packages, such as Calypso, capable of handling advanced trading, risk management, compliance, and back office integration across a range of asset classes and geographies.
Working in close collaboration with Calypso, Accenture offers experienced planning, design and implementation services delivered by experienced professionals knowledgeable in Calypso and associated process transformation. Accenture has leveraged our Calypso experience to build tools that facilitate the integration of Calypso into client environments reducing risk and time to implement as well as ongoing application management of Calypso.
Accenture has also contributed to the development of Calypso's Fast-Track solution for small to mid-tier banks giving us deep, hands-on experience that differentiates Accenture from our competitors.
“Accenture has invested considerably into understanding our application, technical architecture and worked extensively on the Calypso Fast-Track product, making it well-poised to add substantial value in managing or executing implementation of the Calypso software across multiple types of financial institutions.”
