Financial markets operating systems vendor, OpenFin, today announced that it has provided Axioma, a provider of risk solutions for Buy-Side institutions, with its technology to help the company deploy and deliver its application within an enhanced desktop user experience.
Building on OpenFin will enable Axioma’s axiomaBlueTM solution to benefit from front and back-end optimization to user experience and app deployment while ensuring interoperability between applications and existing workflows. Moreover, by enabling axiomaBlue to run on the OpenFin operating system, the joint integration makes it easy for their mutual customers to unify the Axioma’s experience with other OpenFin-based apps.
