Technology provider Edgewater Markets has partnered with OpenFin, the operating system (OS) for enterprise productivity, to provide extended native desktop capabilities for FX traders.
The full suite of p
roducts by Edgewater Markets is now available on OpenFin and is being distributed to clients globally.
The decision to migrate to OpenFin was due to customer demand based on browser workflow limitations, according to Edgewater Markets.
Innovation in the FX market has been well documented, but traders are challenged by the need to constantly switch apps, contexts and navigate an increasingly crowded desktop.
This is why a unified desktop experience and workflow that offers better navigation, visualisation tools as well as real-time notifications are in demand.
By leveraging OpenFin’s flagship OS, Edgewater Markets said its customers such as Tier 1 and 2 banks, emerging market and regional banks, macro funds, high frequency funds, pension funds, and corporates, can customise their workspace.
They can take advantage of an enhanced user experience and design across the desktop, such as window management for efficient workflows and desktop real estate management, while maintaining enterprise grade security, zero install, memory retention and native desktop capabilities.
“Our clients needed more robust windowing performance from our platform,” said Brian Andreyko, chief product officer at Edgewater Markets.
He added that since joining forces with OpenFin, users have seen an upgrade in performance of data delivery.
Adam Tom, CEO-Europe said, “Edgewater Markets plays a valuable role in helping FX traders access liquidity in emerging markets areas.
Connectivity to OpenFin has helped Edgewater clients to have better control over their desktop real estate and perform more efficiently overall.”
Since its initial launch in Q3 of 2021, Edgewater Markets on OpenFin has been deployed into production accessible from its data centres in New York, London, Tokyo and Singapore.
