Devs. are more effective when API is solid and well documented rd party devs. and companies can be on-boarded faster rd parties can be hired to make completely separate custom apps. 2. BROADER More applications, more value for Saxo Bank clients: 1. WLC s can seamlessly embed Saxo functionality in their own portals. 2. Niche companies and semi-pros can develop targeted applications. 3. Advanced traders can use MathLab/R/StatPro for algo trading. 4. Established trading platforms and data portal vendors may now hook up to Saxo Bank. 3. CHEAPER One interface instead 2: 1. Replacing several front end servers, front end protocols and duplicated logic. Faster to develop, easier to test and maintain. 4
