Symphony 2.0 is all about the user experience (UX). To keep UX front and center as we developed the new version of Symphony, we established a set of guiding principles.
After more than two years in design and development, Symphony 2.0 is ready for our customers to try. The rollout begins with an open beta for select customers beginning July 20, followed by a general availability release later this summer.
At Symphony, we believe in eating our own cooking. In other words, we are active users of the same tools and solutions we offer to help our community work more efficiently. Recently, we introduced two new bots to provide administrative support for our Developer Certification Program: Alfred and Bernard.
With more than two billion users around the globe, WhatsApp is ubiquitous in our personal and professional lives. Now imagine the reach and convenience of WhatsApp integrated into a platform like Symphony, which satisfies the highest security and compliance requirements that govern communications around the globe. This is especially important for regulated markets such as financial services.
During our first-ever digital conference, Goutam Nadella, EVP of Client Services at Symphony, showcased the latest iteration of SPARC, Symphony’s solution to streamlining pre-trade workflows.
We achieved a new milestone for Symphony by hosting our first digital event. More than 700 people tuned in from over 40 countries around the world, from home offices featuring snowy backyards or sunshine and sand, to hear how key players in the financial services industry are dealing with the effects of COVID-19 and to watch demos of their solutions.
