Celebrating 10 Years of Symphony: Leading the Way in Fintech
Symphony turns 10! Discover how we’re transforming the financial industry through trust, passion, and cutting-edge technology.
In August, we introduced Symphony Meetings for iOS. The Meetings app enables users to start a meeting with one tap, move seamlessly from a chat to a meeting, and join a meeting as easily as if they were picking up a phone call–all via mobile device. These features are now also available to Android users via the Symphony Meetings app for Android.
The response to Meetings from our customers has been tremendously positive. In particular, Symphony users are enthusiastic about the ability to start a meeting instantly from an existing chat–no more opening your email program, adding each individual invitee, pasting in dial-in details, and waiting for each participant to receive the invitation and join. This is a major upgrade in terms of convenience, particularly for those who use Symphony on-the-go. The Meetings app offers users the same functionality they’ll find on the desktop, enabling them to conduct meetings from anywhere via mobile phone. In addition, both iOS and Android versions of the app now offer users the ability to select their desired audio output for meetings, such as a Bluetooth speaker or other listening device.
As the international Symphony community continues to grow (see our recent integration with WeChat), introducing Meetings for Android is just one of the ways we’re working to make it easy for our users to collaborate–no matter where in the world they are. Symphony users in Asia and other areas where Android is prevalent now have access to the same features as iOS users.
Stay tuned for announcements about new features and updates to Meetings, including support for Meetings on Symphony for BlackBerry and Symphony for MobileIron, coming next year for both iOS and Android. To download Symphony for Android, click here.

FDC3 aims to simplify communication between different financial applications. Traditionally, traders juggle multiple displays, manually transferring data. FDC3 enables automatic context sharing between these applications, saving time and reducing errors. Common uses span from pre-trade to post-trade activities.
Symphony, a member of the open-source foundation FINOS, is deeply involved in developing FDC3 and promoting its use in global capital markets. Our focus is standardizing integration APIs, giving customers flexibility in choosing their Desktop Integration Platform provider while supporting FDC3.
The 2020s are an unprecedented decade of disruption and every market participant is either the disruptor…or the disrupted. Today, we stand at the precipice of artificial general intelligence and every well-run organization should be actively seeking to disrupt themselves right now. Symphony has been able to remain almost a decade ahead of disruption by understanding one simple truth—thriving through disruption. This demands three things from your technology: resiliency, stability and flexibility.
