A new regulation from the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) aimed at reducing risks and increasing efficiency in the financial markets will require a move to a T+1 securities settlement cycle by May 28, 2024. T+1 means that trades must be settled within one business day of execution, instead of the current T+2 to T+5 settlement cycles, which allow settlements to occur two to five days after a customer purchases a security. That new speed requirement will have a significant impact on banks and financial institutions.
The new regulation will reduce counterparty risk, as trades will be sett ..read more

Moving established mainframe development processes to DevOps can seem like a daunting task. Automation helps free developers from performing manual tasks and gain faster delivery while improving quality, but how can this be adopted at scale?
