With the Symphony 2.0 rollout underway, the mobile team is excited to introduce a corresponding refresh for the Symphony mobile app. The new version of the app offers improved speed and performance for on-the-go users, as well as an updated design that reflects the modern, streamlined look and feel of Symphony 2.0.
Workflow automations are at the centre of how financial institutions operate. Aligned with this new normal, Symphony hosts hackathons in New York, London, Paris and Asia (Hong Kong or Singapore) in order to promote the development of innovative automations in a competitive setting. Earlier this summer, Paris hosted its third hackathon – completely digital, of course- with the participation of six teams, including sell side, buy side and partners, for a total of 40 participants.
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.
