FINOS Announces 2022 State of Open Source in Financial Services Survey

FINOS, the fintech open source foundation, and its research partners, Linux Foundation Research, Adaptive, GitHub, Intel, Mend, Red Hat, Scott Logic, SUSE, Symphony, Tradeweb, and Wipro, are conducting its second annual survey as part of its ongoing research on the state of open source adoption, contribution, and readiness in the financial services industry.

The increased prevalence, importance, and value of open source is well understood and widely reported by many industry surveys and studies. However, the rate at which different industries acknowledge this shift and adapt their working practices to capitalize on the new world of open source-first differs considerably.

The financial services industry has been a long-time consumer of open source software; however, many are struggling in contributing to and publishing open source software and standards and adopting open source methodologies. A lack of understanding of building and deploying efficient tooling and governance models is often seen as a limiting factor.

This survey and report seek to explore open source within the context of financial services organizations, including banks, asset managers, and hedge funds but it is designed as a resource to be used by all financial services organizations as an annual tracking of metrics. 

Please participate now; we intend to close the survey in early August. Privacy and confidentiality are important to us. Neither participant names, nor their company names, will be published in the final results.
