“Our largest and most tech-savvy banking and buy-side customers are moving to OpenFin Workspace, and that is a fundamental break with the way these firms have worked for decades,” said Mazy Dar, CEO of OpenFin . “It is a privilege to have won their trust and it is a unique moment for the financial industry to finally make the dream of openness a reality. ”
The new offering offers a turnkey solution that also eliminates the need for costly developments by standardizing work areas across the industry. This is of great importance because large banks and asset managers have traditionally developed their own workspace offerings at enormous cost to unify applications and automate workflows.

Small and medium-sized financial firms, on the other hand, typically don’t have dedicated in-house teams to develop a workspace solution, resulting in a poor and fragmented experience. With OpenFin Workspace, companies of all sizes have access to a best-in-class solution that not only creates a uniform experience, but also enables easy integration of third-party applications into their customers’ internal environments.
OpenFin Workspace has been in a private beta with several major banks and asset managers for the past three months and is now available to all industry participants. The product can be used immediately at the more than 2,400 banks, asset managers and hedge funds that currently use OpenFin OS.
