Euroclear aims to strengthen digital infrastructure with Microsoft solutions

Euroclear announces a seven-year partnership with Microsoft to strengthen its digital infrastructure. The collaboration focuses on cloud technology, data and AI.

Microsoft and Euroclear shake hands for a seven-year partnership. Euroclear aims to use Microsoft’s technology to modernize its ecosystem and make it more efficient. The focus is on developing a digital and data-driven platform. Microsoft will provide support through cloud services such as Azure, Copilot and Azure AI. The collaboration should hopefully lead to a more streamlined financial market infrastructure.

Insights and efficiency

One focus is the development of a platform for secure financial data exchange. In addition, Euroclear is working to transform its fund offering through AI-driven insights and more efficient operations. Customer interactions are also being improved through an integrated platform that streamlines communication and service delivery. Furthermore, Euroclear is investing in a next-generation financial infrastructure with built-in regulatory compliance and enhanced security.

Exactly what Copilot has to do with the whole thing is not so clear. Microsoft is doing everything it can to link its AI offering to everything it does or does not do. It’s unclear whether Microsoft and Euroclear have found great value in the ChatGPT derivative here, or whether it’s mostly about marketing after all.

By partnering with Microsoft’s cloud solutions, Euroclear aims to make its platforms operate more efficiently. Flexible cloud capacity and automated disaster recovery solutions should improve operational resilience and security. The first projects within the collaboration will be rolled out in 2025 and later scaled up.
