Case Study: Barclays modernizes post-trade operations with Camunda

Barclays' Post-Trade Core Services Technology Transformation with Camunda

Barclays, the global investment bank, needed to modernize its post-trade core services technology, which was constrained by legacy monolithic systems, vendor sprawl, rising costs, limited scalability, and growing regulatory pressure around settlement cycles like T+1. To improve resilience, visibility, and exception handling across clearing, settlement, custody, asset servicing, and reporting, Barclays turned to Camunda Platform, including Camunda 8.

Camunda helped Barclays redesign its post-trade landscape by decomposing legacy systems into microservices and adding a process orchestration layer for trade capture, validation, enrichment, matching, and settlement. The result was greater transparency and control, more efficient exception management, improved resilience and compliance readiness, and a scalable architecture already handling tens of millions of transactions per day, with plans to fully migrate off legacy platforms and expand further with Camunda 8.
