The London Stock Exchange (LSEG) is set to migrate its Workspace platform to OpenFin, enabling interoperability with thousands of internal applications created by banks and buy-side customers.
LSEG Workspace offers wealth advisors, research analysts, portfolio managers, investment bankers, and traders access to financial data, news, analytics, and productivity tools. The partnership will align Workspace with OpenFin’s technology, facilitating easier deployment and greater interoperability.
OpenFin’s Chromium container and workspace technology allow for streamlined app distribution, workspace management, and workflow automation. It is utilized by 90% of major global banks, deploying over 3,500 desktop applications to more than 3,800 buy-side and sell-side firms.
Dean Berry, group head of trading and banking solutions at LSEG, states, “Transforming user experience starts with seamless delivery of LSEG Workspace to customer desktops. The use of OpenFin significantly enhances our delivery model and end-user experience, leveraging technology that is already trusted by most global banks and leading asset managers.”
OpenFin’s container technology is co-stable with Google Chromium, ensuring continuous and seamless delivery of critical security patches and enhancements to the Chromium engine for end-user desktops.
Borre Wessel, LSEG’s head of desktop platform technology, adds, “As technologists, we greatly appreciate OpenFin’s commitment to open web standards and their rigorous process for keeping up with Google Chromium. We will leverage their technology to deliver LSEG Workspace cross-platform to both Windows and Mac devices.”
