Impact Assessment
Operational Impact: Medium - All trading members must upgrade their systems to the new NEAT+ version. The mock session allows members to test the new software version before mandatory implementation. Members need to allocate resources for software installation, testing, and participation in the mock trading session.
Technical Impact: The release includes testing of both Primary Site and DR Site operations, including switchover scenarios. The discontinuation of NEAT+ 7.8.4 from December 06, 2025 creates a deadline for all members to complete the upgrade.
Financial Impact: None - No financial obligations arise from mock trading sessions; no fund pay-in or pay-out will occur for trades executed during the mock session.
Impact Justification
Mandatory software upgrade requiring member participation in mock trading session; operational impact on trading systems but no financial obligations
