SSP Release 5.0 November 2011

User consultations and final content

The TARGET2 SSP Release 5.0 went live on the third weekend of November 2011. Defining the release content is subject to a pre-agreed change management process. User communities can submit change requests in a 1st User consultation. From these change requests the Eurosystem shortlists the change requests which can be envisaged for the release. In a 2nd user consultation users can express their support for these change requests. The Eurosystem decides on the final release content on the basis of the user consultations and a cost-benefit analysis for each change request.
