Iress & Interop.io: Redefining the Trading Desktop

Trading workflows are evolving fast — and Iress is leading the charge. By partnering with interop.io, Iress is delivering a unified, customizable desktop experience that puts user control, modularity, and interoperability at the center of the trading experience. Read the full press release.

Meeting the Moment

The trading landscape today demands more than speed. Extended market hours, tighter regulatory timelines, and rising operational risk all make agility and control essential. Yet many firms are still hampered by siloed apps and legacy infrastructure that slow down innovation and introduce manual risk.

“Today’s trading landscape is shifting fast, with extended trading market hours, accelerated post-trade cycles, and heightened regulatory demands reshaping operational expectations for trading firms. Traders need to be agile, compliant, and operationally resilient to maintain a competitive edge across global markets. At the same time, firms are under pressure to modernise legacy infrastructure without costly re-platforming.” – Mike Barbera, Product & Development, Iress.

Powered by interop.io: The MyIress Advantage

Iress is launching a new smart desktop experience — MyIress — built with interop.io at its core. The goal is to empower traders to personalize their workflows, integrate the tools they need, and scale across markets and time zones, all within a secure, zero-install architecture.

With interop.io, Iress clients can:

• Seamlessly connect third-party apps, proprietary tools, and market data sources
• Embed custom UIs directly into the workspace
• Use open APIs and FDC3 standards to ensure future-proof extensibility
• Reduce the manual risk of copy/paste workflows
• Stay compliant with real-time data sharing, trade monitoring, and auditability

A Strategic Shift, Industry-Wide

This partnership represents more than just an upgrade. It’s part of a larger trend: financial services firms are moving away from monolithic, inflexible systems toward composable, interoperable workspaces that allow rapid innovation without starting from scratch.

Iress is showing what’s possible — delivering a smart desktop experience that’s personalized, scalable, and built to meet today’s demands.

“We’re delighted to be partnering with Iress to deliver a best-of-breed ecosystem that enhances the user experience for their global trading and market data clients — and ultimately improves the experience across the trading industry.” – Leslie Spiro, interop.io CEO and Co-Founder.

At interop.io, we’re proud to provide the interoperability layer that makes MyIress possible — and to support the teams bringing these experiences to life.

Bringing the Project to Life—In Real Life

MyIress is the result of over 18 months of direct collaboration between Iress and the interop.io engineering and product teams. The initiative spanned dozens of core applications across APAC, North America, and EMEA. The close partnership with interop.io’s services division played a critical role in accelerating delivery.

“Our team recently met the Iress team in Australia for a multi-week engagement,” says Susan Walters, CEO, Professional Services at interop.io. “Through hands-on workshops, collaborative testing, and iterative design sessions, the teams worked side by side to ensure the highest quality user experience.”
