The adoption of open source in the financial services industry is on the rise, largely led by organisations with Open Source Program Offices. This is a key finding of the FINOS '2022 State of Open Source in Financial Services' survey report, on which we worked in partnership with FINOS, GitHub, The Linux Foundation Research and Red Hat. Our CTO Colin Eberhardt said, "We’ve long known that leadership makes a difference, but with this survey, we have been able to quantify that difference." You can find out more about the key findings here and access your copy of the report.
