The desktop application integration firm moves into APAC,
supplements the existing platform with extended connectivity, adds
new customers and provides best-in-class support for Bloomberg and
Eikon.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Glue42, the company bringing a simplified
desktop experience and interoperability to financial
institutions, today announced it is extending the connectivity
of the financial desktop as well as its footprint into Asia Pacific through a reseller agreement with
Chelmer. In July, the team also expanded beyond its existing wealth
management portfolio into new markets and added a sports betting
company as well as an alternative asset management firm as new
clients.
"Our aim is to become the system of choice for financial
companies and beyond," said Leslie
Spiro, CEO, Glue42. "Month on month, we've added new clients
and deployed new licenses. We remain committed to helping our
customers tackle critical digital transformation initiatives,
including business process automation, application migration and
regulatory compliance. Adding third-party application and solution
connectivity is in line with our strategy to deliver simple and
intuitive user experiences across desktops globally. The recent
client wins and expansion into Asia
Pacific are a perfect testimony to this effort."
As part of the new release, Glue42 desktop users' apps can now
interoperate with third-party websites and web apps through browser
extensions, eliminating the need to have access to an application's
API or source code APIs. Using Glue42, customers and partners will
now also be able to orchestrate UI and share data context with the
world's biggest financial data providers, including Eikon and
Bloomberg.
Adding new clients demonstrates that the interop firm's value
proposition is valuable beyond wealth management and can easily
extend into new markets.
As a result of the Glue42 Desktop implementation, traders at the
U.S. employee owned hedge fund with approximately $2.24 billion in assets under management were
able to simplify their desktop and increase their productivity by
creating streamlined workspaces and automating previously manual
operations. Furthermore, re-use of existing legacy systems meant
that there was no need for the fund's developers to re-write
existing apps or purchase new apps.
The sports betting company can now help its users make more
accurate predictions of soccer matches globally at a much faster
pace. Through an integrated dashboard, consultants can zone in on
pre-match and live games, and provide related information via
contextualized screens.
"Technology is at the heart of each of these businesses," said
James Wooster, COO, Glue42. "They
required dynamic technology that evolves with their markets and
future technology stack, whilst allowing full utilisation of their
existing technology assets. Going forward, our clients can expect
deeper integration capabilities and a broader set of productivity
functionality. At the same time, we will also bring the benefits of
desktop interoperability to other industries and geographies,
starting with Asia Pacific right
now."
"The Glue42 desktop application integration platform will help
us underpin the next generation of financial desktops in
Asia Pacific," said Andy Robertson, Chief Innovation Offices at
Chelmer. "We found it to be the most advanced desktop integration
platform available to date and are confident that it will help us
deliver simple and intuitive user experiences to our clients'
desktops."
