FINOS<\/a> recently announced the 1.1 release of the FDC3 desktop standard<\/a>. We at Adaptive are excited about this release, and the new capabilities it enables on the financial desktop. We are also proud of the role we play working with the community to evolve the standard, and push our industry forward.<\/p>\n

Since Adaptive’s inception, we have been involved in projects where we had to compose applications together to create new workflows, and we saw first-hand how transformative desktop interoperability and micro-frontends can be for both businesses, and the way people work.<\/p>\n

This is why we continue to invest time and effort into FINOS and FDC3 \u2013 we believe these standards matter for our clients. I have poured much of my own free time into the FDC3 community over the past 18+ months, during which I have served on the FDC3 Program Management Committee, as chair of the API working group, and later the Intents and Context Data working group.<\/p>\n

It has been immensely encouraging to see how the community has grown during this time, and how financial organizations, large and small, have come together to collaborate around shared interests.<\/p>\n

I am proud to say that Adaptive has now joined FINOS as a silver member<\/a>, supporting and investing in our community. We have unique insight to offer to the FINOS community from our years of experience building bespoke, real-time trading systems.<\/p>\n

What is FDC3?<\/h2>\n

The Financial Desktop Connectivity & Collaboration Consortium was founded in 2017 by OpenFin and contributed to FINOS, the Fintech Open Source Foundation.<\/p>\n

You can read about the mission of FDC3, and its business focus, on FINOS\u2019s program page<\/a>, but I like the tagline that jumps out at you if you go to https:\/\/fdc3.finos.org<\/a>: \u201cOpen Standards for the Financial Desktop<\/em>\u201d. To me this perfectly summarizes what the FDC3 community is working towards: open standards that allow financial applications, from any firm or vendor, to collaborate with one another, and compose powerful workflows that can transform the way people work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The FDC3 standard is made up of four complimentary specifications: App Directory, Intents, Context Data and API. Together they provide the connecting glue that allows micro-frontends, or desktop components, to \u201cspeak the same language\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

These specifications are underpinned by real-world business use cases, produced by the FDC3 Use Cases working group<\/a>.<\/p>\n
