Tier1 Financial Solutions — a leading global relationship management technology provider for capital markets and banking — announced it has partnered with OpenFin. OpenFin — which is known as the financial industry’s operating system — will deploy Tier1’s solutions across financial desktops, streamlining collaboration and end-user workflows.

Tier1’s open architecture SaaS platform for market professionals has been traditionally running in a web browser. By running on OpenFin’s web-based operating system, it will enable Tier1 to provide a desktop app experience and interoperability with internal and vendor applications. Plus this allows separate and distinct applications to work in harmony and provide cross-functionality to support a continuous exchange of information.

“Tier1 provides best-in-class CRM capabilities for financial professionals and is being used by many banks who also use OpenFin,” said Mazy Dar, CEO at OpenFin. “By bringing the two platforms together we are enabling faster and smarter productivity.”

Kim Prado, Global Head of Client Insight, Banking and Digital Channels technology for RBC Capital Markets, pointed out that innovation is one of the most important things that her company is focused on.

“Being able to interconnect our desktop applications together will improve our ability to service our customers,” added Prado.

Tier1’s Vice President of Strategy Doug Christensen explained that the company’s vision is to create an all-encompassing dealer-wide CRM by connecting what was once a disparate and distinct group of applications needed to manage a client.

“This collaboration with OpenFin will allow us to leverage interoperability and integrations that were once not possible without a significant investment in technology,” explained Christensen.

Tier1 Financial Solutions CEO and co-founder Mark Notten noted that the community of trusted innovation partners is constantly being vetted — which is creating a tried and true process as firms search for less risk, reliability, and brings demonstrable business value.

“OpenFin is clearly a member of this group which is enthusiastically supported by our most innovative customers,” noted Notten.
