OpenFin, today announced that it has provided ICAP Global Broking with its industry leading HTML5 container technology, which will be used with ICAP’s next generation Fusion Desktop platform.

Fusion is the ICAP Global Broking eCommerce portal that enables customers to transact across multiple asset classes and provides access to aggregated information, real time market data, analytics and live news.

In working with OpenFin, customers have access to a fully interactive desktop experience run on the most robust HTML5 engine available.
