Empowering Financial Institutions to use Open Source With Confidence

The days when financial institutions relied solemnly on proprietary code are over. Today, even the largest financial services firms have realized the benefits of using open source technology to build powerful, innovative applications at a reduced time-to-market. However, the financial services industry faces strict regulatory requirements that present it with a unique set of challenges, especially when it comes to open source usage (both consumption and contribution).

Together with WhiteSource, they are able to provide a safe environment for developers to use open source components freely and fearlessly. Join FINOS and WhiteSource as they discuss:
