FINOS NEWS
FINOS AND EDM COUNCIL PARTNERSHIP
Wednesday, FINOS and the EDM Council (a cross-industry trade association for data management and analytics) announced a partnership, to accelerate the implementation of the Cloud Data Management Capabilities (CDMC) framework via an end-to-end open source testing and infrastructure-as-code suite. This would be the first open source suite to accelerate cloud compliance for financial services. This partnership will allow automatic configuration of deployments to reach full compliance through the FINOS’ Compliant Financial Infrastructure project (formerly known as Cloud Service Certification) which will host infrastructure-as-code for the leading CSPs.
