New Development Bank Deploys TCS BaNCS as its Flexible Digital Backbone

TCS’ Treasury Cloud Solution Went Live in 12 Weeks, Enabling Quicker Realization of Business Benefits

SHANGHAI | MUMBAI, October 4, 2018: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE:TCS), a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, announced that New Development Bank (NDB), a multilateral development finance institution set up by the BRICS nations and headquartered in Shanghai, has gone live with TCS BaNCS for Treasury.

NDB selected TCS BaNCS for its risk and treasury operations for the solution’s support for an impressive array of asset classes, and advanced features such as real-time position keeping, risk analytics, and a single product configurator that supports complex debt structures for their issuance programs. The cloud-based offering of TCS BaNCS reduces the time taken for customer on-boarding to a fraction of what it takes in conventional on-premise implementations, as the need to procure and invest in internal infrastructure is eliminated, along with the complexities involved in replacements.

The go-live at NDB, which was achieved in 12 weeks, deployed TCS’ market proven methodology for cloud on-boarding that leverages enabler toolkits for all project activities – from solution configuration and alignment, to migration, training and testing. TCS also demonstrated its capability with ISO/IEC 27001:2013 cloud services with this deployment, enabling responsive and resilient operations for the bank. TCS BaNCS will now support all market operations linked to NDB’s investment and liability portfolio consisting of global bond issuances, including managing inherent risks.

Commenting on the go-live, Leslie Maasdorp, Vice-President & Chief Financial Officer, NDB, said, “Technological change will continue to transform the economic landscape and open new opportunities for citizens of BRICS nations. For a bank to develop conventional infrastructure as well as to take maximum advantage of transformative technological developments as they happen at high speed and large scale, a flexible and digital backbone is essential. TCS BaNCS was selected not only for its extensive product capabilities but also for its compelling and relevant implementation footprint across the globe.”

Venkateshwaran Srinivasan, Head of TCS Financial Solutions, said, “This is another exciting area for TCS BaNCS to support the growth of a prestigious multi-lateral institution that is powering broad based development in underserved, emerging economies. The deployment was quick and efficient and TCS BaNCS for Treasury on the cloud is operational at NDB, bringing business benefits in a very short timeframe. Rapid deployment of technology solutions enabled by the cloud, is the mantra that businesses globally are adopting to ensure quick ROI.”
