interop.io Launches Desktop Interoperability Maturity Model

Subscribe to our newsletter

Interoperability provider interop.io has released its desktop interoperability maturity model, a framework that helps financial institutions progress desktop interoperability through workflow and UI integration. The model defines a pathway to optimising business processes, uncovering data-driven insights, and reducing operational risk. Developers can expect to reduce development, testing, and release times by 50%, according to the company.

Practical benefits are expected to include better client service, better user experience, and demonstrable ROI from improved efficiency and effectiveness and reduced error rates. As well as evaluating their own interop maturity, firms can select the most suitable application provider based on their interop maturity level. Software vendors can better understand their customers’ interop goals, and system integrators can rely on the model for a clear path and milestones for their clients’ digital transformation projects.
