Drive Results
Understand the current state of open source consumption,
contribution and awareness along with associated policies

for the specific member firm.
Define a roadmap that progressively moves the member firm
towards “success” including specific milestones and an
agreed approach.
Execute on the approach, establishing appropriate metrics or
reports to track progress and identify challenges or
roadblocks sooner rather than later.

Notas do Editor
I am gabriele Columbro - executive director of the symphony software foundation.
While I have spent a life in open source, between community and commercial companies, I don’t come from the financial services industry per se. While you could probably say I come from the Valley, that Italian part of the Valley, I guess :)
So when I started as ED of the Symphony Software Foundation less than 2 years ago, I knew a few things about this industry, but had to learn a thing or two about the world of Financial Technology.
I knew there’s amazing technology in this ecosystem but I learned that’s still highly siloed. And I learned that post trade workflows can take days if not weeks. I learned about over time consortiums, standard bodies, working groups tried to build co-opetition models - with generally different degrees of success. And finally, I’ve learned that Open APIs were still a quite new thing for the industry, but - and that I already knew - open source was still looked at with diffidence.
But, I quickly learned that, between Fintech platforms enabling entirely new channels in the ecosystem and disruptive disintermediation source technologies like blockchain, the industry was in the midst of a revolution, one that is bound to drive entirely new business models. One that requires a deep questioning, from each player in the ecosystem, as to what it means to build and consume financial technology.
So, having the luck to seat with some of the largest financial institutions and financial technology vendors, starting a high stake and collaborative in nature use case like the Symphony platform, we realized the massive opportunity to provide an environment where faster innovation could happen by the means of efficient open collaboration between firms on their technology strategies.
But one thing I DID know when I joined was that it was not going to be easy.
In fact with great opportunities come great challenges, and especially in regulated industries, as we probably all have experienced - there are great challenges in collaborating across the firewall.
So by now you hopefully know about some (or all) of the benefits available to our members.
Propose new programs - e.g. the Data Technologies Proposal put forward by Morgan Stanley, JPMC and Citi.
Access to member only events - networking events like this meeting, roundtables on specific topics
Marketing Opportunities - press releases, white papers, videos and anything else you can think of
Priority access to all FINOS events - our Open Source in Fintech Event Series (new topics each month)
Understanding current state may involve discussions with a range of interested (or not yet interested but should be interested) individuals and groups across different areas of the firm.
Part of understanding current state and identifying goals is also to determine where there is common interest among partners and other firms. An output of which will be roundtables with relevant participants on specific topics of interest, e.g. settlement. It will also help the member success team highlight existing programs that the member firm should be engaged with.
Approach may include a number of parallel streams, for example, a specific OSR track with policies and legal guidance, developing training and awareness sessions, identifying the right people to help move things internally. (Just paying $ isn’t enough, there has to be movement internally as well).
