The ECB’s T2S team consists of 58 people spread over four smaller teams and a management team. The teams deal with issues such as finance, planning, customer relations, legal issues and communication.
The design and planning team’s main responsibilities are twofold. On the one hand, it runs the Programme Management Office, which is responsible for planning, budget monitoring and coordinating with other projects and service providers. On the other hand, it is responsible for a series of non-functional arrangements, such as user connectivity, service levels, the operational framework, testing and migration approaches and information security. Within the ECB’s organisational set-up, this team is referred to as the “Technical Programme Management Section”. The team is headed by Carlo Martens.
The customer relations team is the contact point for CSDs and directly connected users. The team also provides support to the non-euro area markets that have decided to join T2S with their local currencies. The team also ensures that the delivery and implementation of T2S is in line with T2S user requirements and that developments in these requirements are incorporated into the URD as part of the T2S change management process. Within the ECB’s organisational set-up, this team is referred to as the “User Stakeholder Management Section”. The team is headed by Meike Ströter.
The legal team is responsible for all legal issues and documentation relating to the T2S programme. The team is headed by Petra Senkovic.
This team’s main responsibilities are to prepare policy dossiers (e.g. on governance and harmonisation), ensure that external stakeholders are kept informed about all aspects related to the T2S programme (for example, the T2S Online reviews are prepared by the team) and prepare financial issues related to T2S (e.g. pricing policies). Within the ECB’s organisation set-up, this team is referred to as “External Stakeholder Management Section”. The team is headed by Helmut Wacket.
Meike, Carlo and Helmut report to Marc. Petra and her team are part of the Directorate General Legal Services at the ECB, but they work exclusively on T2S issues.
