With advanced technology Deutsche Börse affords companies and investors access to global capital markets. The expertise for this comes from within the Group's own ranks: Information Technology designs, builds and operates the technological infrastructure of Deutsche Börse and operates a total of 16 other exchanges around the world.

More than 1,050 IT employees implement the segments’ strategies through technological applications, thereby ensuring the competitiveness of the entire Group. Deutsche Börse implemented fully electronic trading and settlement processes earlier than other stock market organizations. Today, these systems perform vital functions for the company’s core business and provide the basis for its excellent competitive position.

Only a few exchange organizations have the in-house expertise to actually implement their technical requirements regarding trading and settlement systems. This is one of the strengths of Deutsche Börse Group: it can continue to rely on its own technology service provider, whose competencies are bundled in the Information Technology segment, to support its core business.
