The GFT Group has launched GFT AppStore, a multi-platform, enterprise application storefront.

This allows financial services organisations to develop and test apps and also provides a central point for its employees to use and share apps throughout the organisation and across devices. GFT is currently running app initiatives for its clients, in payment transactions, investment consulting, account management and stock market information which includes brokerage features.

Christopher Ortiz, managing director at GFT UK, comments: “Like many investment banks, a few years ago we started to see a range of consumer devices being used as business tools by the GFT team. Consumerisation is pushing IT departments and banks to adapt; to offer the flexibility and user-friendliness of consumer tools in their business technology. We decided we needed an AppStore for our internal use, so we built our own and are now using it to develop apps for our clients."
