Since June, Deutsche Börse Managed Services provides the IT infrastructure for the trading platform of German private bank Donner & Reuschel. These services enable a seamless connection to the trading platforms Xetra and Eurex. The Managed Services form part of Deutsche Börse’s Infrastructure Services offer, which comprises licensing, hosting and maintenance of Deutsche Börse applications and infrastructure elements to external clients.
