The Project - TANGO

Summit (owned by Finastra) had been the core platform supporting WB and IFC capital markets and asset management functions for more than 20 years. In 2020, IBRD successfully replaced Summit with Murex Mx3 for Capital Market Operations. The primary objective of Project TANGO is to have a single instance of Murex across IBRD and IFC. The project also involves consolidation of systems and processes, streamlining interfaces between systems and adopting a single source of static/market data across the institutions.

Tango project has multiple phases. The scoping and design phase was completed by Murex and we will be getting into the implementation and testing phases shortly. The project will be implemented under the hybrid-agile framework.
