Iress Trading and Market Data (TMD) has entered into a partnership with Interop.io, a provider of smart desktop interoperability solutions, aiming to give financial institutions greater control over their trading environments.
The collaboration is designed to help firms modernise and streamline trading operations, including legacy systems, without the need for extensive replatforming. This approach supports faster and more efficient trading workflows across asset classes, regions, and strategies.
According to Iress, the partnership reinforces its commitment to delivering flexible and scalable trading and market data infrastructure. The company says this will help client firms address evolving market demands such as extended trading hours, accelerated settlement cycles (T+1), increased regulatory oversight, and the need for robust operational resilience.
The integration with Interop.io is expected to enable more efficient trade execution and transaction workflows by simplifying integration and interoperability with other platforms. Users will benefit from a more timely and integrated view of trading activity, which supports informed execution and more efficient post-trade processing and regulatory reporting.

Through MyIress, we’re delivering a more scalable and personalised future, empowering clients to tailor their workflows, operate seamlessly across markets and time zones, and stay ahead in an increasingly complex, fast-moving landscape.”
Industry observers have noted the increasing importance of interoperability in trading environments. One industry analyst remarked: “The ability to unify disparate systems without full replatforming is becoming a competitive differentiator for trading firms.” Another market participant commented: “With T+1 settlement and regulatory demands, seamless integration between systems is no longer a luxury but a necessity.”
The partnership highlights the ongoing evolution of trading infrastructure as firms seek to balance legacy systems with the demands of modern markets.
