- The seamless workflow on a single desktop has proven benefits for bond traders, wealth managers or professional investors.
Every day, financial market professionals use an increasing number of applications essential to their job.
This can create a complex workflow that requires a time consuming repetition of tasks across apps to maintain consistency, and increases the risk of important information being missed.
The Eikon Side by Side Integration API enables desktop apps to ‘talk’ to one another, dynamically connecting and sharing context between proprietary/external applications and Eikon.
The API’s connected workflow will speed up execution, improve user experience, reduce the risk of errors and increase productivity by minimizing data entry points.
The power of talking to Eikon via this API is best explained through these examples of what it can do. Eikon customers and partners have been accessing the API to create new and exciting workflows, some of which are showcased here.

Symphony and Eikon
As part of our award-winning partnership with Symphony, aimed to break down barriers to collaboration across the financial services industry, the integration between Eikon and Symphony’s messaging platform went live last year.
The integration leverages our Eikon Side by Side API and supports a wide range of workflow use cases, including connecting the buy-side with the sell-side.
This means that customers who have both Eikon and Symphony will benefit from streamlined workflows and be able to seamlessly share hundreds of Eikon Apps, including live data, charts and news, with their business counterparts on the Symphony network.
