no 26/09 System upgrades postponed to 20 April


Lysaker, 11 March 2009

Nord Pool has decided to move the launch date of the new system upgrades from March 23 to April 20 in order to secure sufficient time for testing and market readiness processes.  

Nord Pool has decided to move the launch date from 23 March to 20 April to secure sufficient time for system testing and fulfil member requests for increased time for market readiness processes.  

This includes the applications CLICK Trade XTTM and the new clearing application tool Secur Participant Interface (PI), replacing the Clearing Desk Application (CDA). 
The new Clearing Report Application (CRA) is launched as planned this week. As informed earlier, there will be a step by step transfer of user accounts to the new CRA. Users will be notified when their user account is ready in the new CRA. The announced changes in some reports are postponed to 20 April due to the main system upgrade.  

Nord Pool will reschedule the timetable for the system upgrades for 20 April, and provide more detailed information to back office teams, traders and brokers as soon as possible.
