Integration between Thomson Reuters Eikon and Symphony Workflow
Platform to power information-rich collaboration across financial
markets
Thomson Reuters and Symphony Communication Services, LLC have
joined forces to foster open collaboration and information sharing
across the financial services industry. The partnership will
provide an integrated experience between the companies’ two
platforms to enrich and streamline customer workflows by enabling
market participants to seamlessly share Eikon objects such as
charts, news and data via Symphony’s messaging and collaboration
platform.
The integration, slated to be available later this year, will
drive productivity across the financial services community through
an integrated workflow solution. Users who have both Thomson
Reuters Eikon and Symphony will be able to share Eikon content
directly through the Symphony messaging and collaboration platform.
If the recipient also has Eikon then they are able to share live
data, news and charts to support dynamic, real-time collaboration.
The integration will leverage both Eikon and Symphony open
APIs.
“Thomson Reuters partnership with Symphony is another important
step towards breaking down barriers to efficiency in financial
markets,” said Deb Walton, global managing director of customer
propositions at Thomson Reuters. “Symphony joins a growing
community of partners who, together with Thomson Reuters, are
bringing innovation to the financial community via our open Eikon
platform. While Eikon users can already share Eikon content with
counterparts via our strategic open Eikon Messenger platform, this
partnership gives our customers the choice to extend these
collaboration capabilities to the Symphony community. This is about
streamlining desktop workflow for our customers by providing access
to a powerful and integrated financial technology ecosystem.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Thomson Reuters as a highly
respected market leader within the financial industry,” said David
Gurlé, founder and CEO at Symphony. “This partnership will provide
the Symphony Community a comprehensive and integrated collaboration
and workflow solution. Customers will be able to execute entire
workflows within Symphony through the seamless integration of
powerful communication and collaboration capabilities with
information-rich content and business critical applications.”
The Symphony integration is the latest milestone for Thomson
Reuters open platform strategy, following on from the recent launch
of its Side by Side Integration API for Eikon which enables a more
seamless workflow for users by integrating Eikon with multiple
applications on a single desktop.
Thomson Reuters own instant messaging service, Thomson Reuters
Eikon Messenger, is available as part of Thomson Reuters Eikon and
as a standalone, free-of-charge application on desktop and all
major mobile devices. It provides users with access to the world’s
largest open directory of contacts, spanning more than 300,000
individuals in 30,000 firms across 180 countries.
With a rapidly growing presence in the industry, Symphony’s
community now contains 200,000 licensed users across 170 companies,
including 40 of the world’s top asset managers and 25 of the
largest global banks.
