Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (MUTB) Goes Live on Calypso

• Leading Japanese institution benefits from enhanced risk monitoring and system consolidation

Tokyo and London, June 17, 2009 – Calypso Technology Inc, a global application software provider of an integrated trading application suite to the capital markets industry, announced today that Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (MUTB) has gone live with the first phase of the Calypso Trading and Risk Management Platform. The offering delivers consolidated front-to-back office and cross-asset management across a broad range of financial instruments.

MUTB was seeking an integrated solution that would enable consolidation of its existing in-house front office and outsourced middle office infrastructures into one core system. After a thorough selection process, MUTB selected Calypso for its front office trading, middle office risk management and back office processing capabilities, and immediately began working with Calypso’s product management and engineering teams to implement the first stage of this multi-phase global project. With Calypso, MUTB will now be better able to maintain real-time risk and exposure, to standardize business process flows, and to automate and reduce manual operations in order to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

MUTB commented, “We are pleased with the level of support Calypso Technology has provided and the resources they have dedicated to us. Our close working relationship was a key factor in helping us to get up and running quickly, within set time frame and budget. After successful completion of the first stage in London, we are looking forward to working with Calypso in the next phase of our project, in New York.”

Sean McDermott, Vice President, Asia-Pacific, Calypso, added, “We’re extremely pleased to be working with a leading firm such as MUTB who have the vision to leverage our solution in order to achieve enterprise-wide cost reductions and efficiencies. It is through strong partnerships such as this one that Calypso can offer the best possible ROI for our clients on their IT investment.”

Macquarie Group Live on Calypso

Tokyo, June 01, 2009 – Calypso Technology Inc, a global application software provider of an integrated trading application suite to the capital markets industry, announced today that Macquarie Group Limited is now live on the Calypso trading and risk management platform for loans and deposits front-to-back office and cash management.


To assist Macquarie, Calypso has added functionality to support call accounts – this was developed as part of the ongoing strategic partnership between Calypso and Macquarie. Following the first go-live, Macquarie now uses Calypso’s real-time intra-day cash position monitoring and snapshots with drill-down to individual flows and reporting on specific base currencies. Macquarie also utilized Calypso’s Health Check performance diagnostic services to ensure the system was running at the optimum level prior to go-live. Despite the complexity of the first phase of the project it was completed in 12 months.


Charles Marston, Chairman and CEO of Calypso Technology, says, “The Macquarie project is complex, yet the coherence of the working relationship between Calypso and Macquarie has ensured that we continue to share their strategic vision. We are delighted that Calypso is now live, and that this has been achieved within planned timeframes.”
