Each firm was on their own individual journey to evolve their technology and systems that talk to 存, to ensure they could fully support a compressed settlement cycle. 从整体的角度来看, there was a lot of work done to confirm that we can come together as industry participants in support of the move to T+2. 测试和验证用例, 以及测试与存的持续连接, were paramount in ensuring organizational health and readiness for the implementation date.
然而, the technology landscape has changed significantly since 2017, and our internal preparation is heavily focused on ensuring we have the right automation and observability capabilities are in place at 存 as we move toward T+1.

BC: While there are several similarities between the move from T+3 to T+2 and the upcoming shift to T+1, 从更广泛的行业角度来看, it’s worth noting that this change is more significant in that the continued settlement acceleration requires higher levels of straight through processing and automation. 像这样, all firms need to evaluate their processes end-to-end and identify any processes that require streamlining and automation as the window for recovery is tightened.
就像转移到T+2一样, 端到端评估的重点更加突出, 情景规划, a high focus on resiliency as well as the need for comprehensive industry testing to assess and prove readiness. As the nature of settlement requires several client and partner interaction points, the focus on industry testing and validation is absolutely critical.

DC:上线日期是5月28日, 2024年搬到T+1, what key technology improvements and capabilities can financial services firms focus on over the next 12 months to best prepare for the move to an accelerated settlement cycle?
KD: It’s very important that firms are prepared for industry testing efforts – both in terms of timing and taking full advantage of testing system readiness. Firms can test their interfaces with 存 to ensure timely and thorough test preparedness. 重要的是，我会敦促企业关注弹性.
When moving to this compressed timeframe for settlement, resiliency is at the forefront. 有反应能力的:有反应能力的, address, 并修复系统中的任何问题, 并及时恢复, 非常重要. Firms should also understand how the settlement cut off times have changed with respect to 存, and ensure they are able to shift their schedules to meet the 我们发布了新的时间表.
BC: A thorough analysis to understand the regulations and accelerated timings, as well as to understand the impact to settlement processes and systems, is imperative to identify the areas of focus to support the accelerated settlement cycle. As the recovery window to address exceptions or outages is reduced, resiliency and recoverability should remain a top priority.
尽管T+1的上线时间是2024年5月, 工业测试定于今年第三季度进行, 因此，解决差距的窗口被压缩了. 由于存在行业中的作用, 弹性是一个核心能力和重点领域, and T+1 readiness has been an active program for well over a year.

We have so many more capabilities available to help make our applications and our platforms more 安全. 这些包括:可观察性, 仪表盘, extensive readiness assessments to ensure we are able to support and operate under compressed timeframes, 加强沟通, 使我们能够迅速对任何问题作出反应.
So much has changed since 2017, in terms of the industry and 存’s own technology landscape. 向T+2的转变非常成功, 今天, we have an even richer and more mature environment in terms of resiliency and security, 在我们准备支持T+1结算时，哪些是关键.
BC: 弹性是存的关键基础能力. 确保我们的平台可以扩展, be 有弹性的 and recover is a key tenet of our application design and architecture.
