OpenFin

OpenFin is a company that offers a comprehensive suite of tools and APIs designed to create a unified and efficient workspace for enterprises. OpenFin Workspace is a unified space for work, aimed at increasing productivity and delivering exceptional employee experiences. It includes features such as Home, Browser, Notification Center, and Content Store to unify tasks and tools across the workspace. OpenFin Container allows developers to build enterprise-grade native web apps that run securely on locked-down desktops, while the FDC3 API implements the Financial Desktop Connectivity and Collaboration Consortium (FDC3) standard on OpenFin OS. The Notification Center consolidates notifications across apps, tasks, and workspaces into a single, unified solution, and the Content Store enables clients to set up their own firm-specific content store quickly. The Interop API allows web and native apps to communicate locally across process boundaries, and the Platform API supports complex layouts and tabbed views, allowing for a customizable window frame. OpenFin’s Runtime, built on Chromium and Electron, enables web apps to run securely as first-class citizens on the desktop. Adapters enable side-by-side and embedded integration for web and native apps. OpenFin’s developer platform supports powerful APIs for building complex layouts, cross-app messaging, desktop notifications, and secure OS access. The ecosystem includes more than 3,500 applications and is used by 90% of global financial institutions. OpenFin’s solutions are tailored for various sectors, including enterprise, contact centers, sell-side, buy-side, and software vendors. The Workspace allows for personalized and curated experiences for end-users based on their roles, and the Notification Center allows end-users to control and customize their notifications. The Content Store helps end-users discover apps and see how they fit into curated workflows. The Interop API ensures secure data exchange between trusted apps on the desktop. The Platform API supports complex layouts and tabbed views, and the Runtime Version Manager (RVM) makes upgrading OpenFin Runtime seamless and easy. The multi-runtime architecture allows multiple runtime versions to work concurrently on the same desktop, eliminating dependencies between development teams.
