FDC3 Fast and Easy: Introducing the FDC3 Workbench for Vendors - Kris West, Cosaic - Kris West

As desktop interoperability gains momentum, app vendors must prepare for expectations from clients who look for FDC3-enabled applications to join their integrated desktops. Meeting FDC3 standards allows your app to easily interoperate with other applications (without the need to coordinate with their developers first) and therefore secure a spot on clients' smart desktops. Getting your application FDC3-enabled is easier than ever with the new FINOS-contributed project, FDC3 Workbench. This new developer tool makes it easy to verify that your application communicates correctly with other apps using FDC3 protocol, while additionally providing a fully-featured desktop agent—Finsemble—to develop in. Don’t be left out of the interop movement—join this session to see how this open-sourced workbench can assist you today.

The FINOS Open Source in Finance Podcast, presented by FINOS, delves into the practical realities of applying open source principles within the financial sector. This isn't a theoretical discussion; it's a series of conversations with industry experts who share their direct experiences implementing specific technologies. Episodes explore the tangible benefits and challenges of projects focused on areas like desktop interoperability, which streamlines how complex applications work together, and low-code platforms that accelerate development. Listeners will hear detailed analysis on using synthetic data for testing and innovation, as well as approaches to effective data modeling. The dialogue extends into organizational strategy, covering best practices for establishing successful inner source programs and fostering collaborative development cultures inside large institutions. Each episode of this podcast focuses on a concrete use case or a pressing question at the intersection of finance and open collaboration, providing actionable insights rather than abstract concepts. It's a resource for professionals who want to understand how open source is actively shaping tools, processes, and competitive advantages in financial services today.
