Case Study: Daiwa Securities Group achieves cost optimization, stronger security and operational resilience with Murex’s MXSaaS on AWS

Daiwa Securities Transitions to MXSaaS on AWS

Daiwa Securities Group, one of Japan’s largest securities houses, faced rising IT complexity, middleware end‑of‑life issues and growing infrastructure costs while operating its MX.3 enterprise risk management system on‑premises. To improve agility, security and regulatory compliance and to reduce operational burden, Daiwa partnered with Murex to transition MX.3 to MXSaaS on AWS.

Murex implemented MXSaaS, taking over infrastructure, application and third‑party software management, optimizing configurations and providing dedicated capital‑markets and DevOps experts. The move delivered higher platform uptime, secured end‑of‑day SLAs on a significantly reduced infrastructure, near‑zero RPO, accelerated incident resolution, predictable fixed annual costs and an on‑time, on‑budget go‑live—freeing Daiwa to focus IT resources on business priorities.
