LSEG partners with OpenFin to push forward LSEGWorkspace solution

The exchange group will utilise OpenFin technology to push its Workspace platform out to client desktops, making it more easily deployable and interoperable with internally developed client apps.  

London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has selected interoperability specialist OpenFin to promote its LSEG Workspace platform to client desktops. The Workspace solution provides clients (including wealth advisors, research analysts, portfolio managers, investment bankers and traders) with access to a variety of instruments including financial data, news, analytics and productivity tools.  

“We are delighted to be partnering with LSEG on their digital transformation journey,” said Adam Toms, CEO of OpenFin Europe. “We believe the work they’re doing will be truly transformative for our mutual customers and for the industry overall.” 

LSEG will migrate the Workspace solution through OpenFin to make it more easily accessible for clients, as well as enabling interoperability with the thousands of internal apps developed by OpenFin’s network of over 3.800 banks and buy-side firms.  

“Transforming user experience starts with seamless delivery of LSEG Workspace to customer desktops,” said Dean Berry, group head of trading and banking solutions at LSEG. “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 is the only provider of container technology that is co-stable with Google Chromium, ensuring that critical security patches and other enhancements to the Chromium engine are continuously delivered to end user desktops. Its zero-install model, designed through collaboration with major financial institutions, ensures security and stability while enabling agile delivery.  

“As technologists we greatly appreciate OpenFin’s commitment to open web standards and their rigorous process for keeping up with Google Chromium,” added Borre Wessel, LSEG’s head of desktop platform technology. “We will leverage their technology to deliver LSEG Workspace cross-platform to both Windows and Mac devices.”
