DrumG's Titanium Network offers anonymous price consensus and insights for markets to financial institutions.

Design thinking is now prevalent in fintech as users demand the experiences that they have grown accustomed to in consumer applications. This is especially true for the sophisticated workflows and complex interfaces involved in payments and trading where mistakes are costly and inefficient user experiences may result in loss of productivity and money. Early-stage user research and testing validates product success and de-risks technical investments.
Modern fintech applications must now be multi-channel. Users expect powerful desktop features and streamlined mobile experiences via web or native application. JavaScript is now flexible and performant enough to support your product wherever your customers want to use it.
Finally, your application must be interoperable with third-party APIs to support the seamless workflows that your users expect. Whether it’s real-time pricing, payment providers, or desktop applications such as OpenFin or Bloomberg App Portal, integrations allow you to leverage other platforms to increase your stickiness with your users.
