Transforming the Trader’s Desktop: 3forge Integrates interop.io

This collaboration leverages FDC3 standards to ensure seamless interoperability, enabling 3forge clients to integrate with any desktop application, boosting efficiency and streamlining trading workflows.

3forge provides a full-stack enterprise platform that has been in production across Tier 1 banks since 2014, with a focus on performance, flexibility, and scale. With 3forge, clients can create customized applications in a fraction of the time compared to alternative solutions. Through its partnership with interop.io and the implementation of FDC3 standards, 3forge can now seamlessly interoperate with other participating applications as part of a client’s ecosystem.

3forge’s clients can build complex, real-time applications significantly faster than in-house development efforts. With interop.io’s technology, firms can seamlessly sync and link 3forge components to any other desktop application—whether legacy, web-based, third-party, or even virtually hosted apps, such as Citrix.

According to Viktoriya Shopova, Head of Partnerships at interop.io, this collaboration helps bring interoperability to a wider audience:

3forge is a low-code, high-impact application development toolkit that allows the biggest names in finance to build customized interfaces and purpose-built widgets. It’s exciting because these bespoke widgets are now interoperable with all other solutions on the end-user desktop. This integration significantly enhances the user experience, making it more seamless and efficient.”

Easy FDC3 Compliance with interop.io

Using FDC3 standards and interop.io’s advanced interoperability capabilities, 3forge quickly achieved full FDC3 compliance. interop.io’s solutions simplify the process, enabling application vendors to adopt FDC3 standards efficiently.

Rob Cooke, Founder & CEO of 3forge, highlights the impact:

Partnering with interop.io was the logical next step for us. While 3forge is traditionally known for its interoperability with backend real-time systems, this partnership extends that flexibility to the frontend. We’ve already seen clients leverage this to integrate trade flow monitoring, exception management, middle office functions, and more into a single, consolidated user experience. This transformation accelerates insights and decision-making.”
