Implementing a new trading system like BTS3 involves several key risks. Bursa Malaysia is working closely with all stakeholders to manage these effectively and ensure a smooth transition.

1. Stakeholder Readiness
All participants—POs, ISVs, and IVs—will need time to update systems, onboard, and prepare for cutover.

• Bursa Malaysia will share information early, including message specifications, to give participants sufficient time to plan and implement changes

2. Performance & Reliability
As with any new system, there may need a period of stabilisation.

• Extensive performance, failover, and disaster recovery tests will be conducted to ensure BTS3 meets required standards before go-live

3. Resource Constraints
Multiple system upgrades across the region may put pressure on both vendor and participant resources.

• This will be managed through early planning, advance resource allocation, and a focus on minimising system changes where possible

4. Hardware Procurement & Lead Times
Global supply chain challenges may impact the availability of required hardware.

• Participants are encouraged to assess their infrastructure needs early and plan procurement in advance to avoid delays
