# Banking Tech Awards: Best FinTech Partnership - Goldman Sachs and FINOS for Legend
December 02, 2021
[FINOS Team](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/finos-team)
**We are honored to win the 2021 Banking Tech Awards for** [**Best Fintech Partnership Award**](https://www.fintechfutures.com/2021/11/congratulations-to-this-years-banking-tech-awards-winners/) **with Goldman Sachs, for our collaboration on the** [**Legend**](https://legend.finos.org/) **project.**
[](https://www.fintechfutures.com/2021/11/congratulations-to-this-years-banking-tech-awards-winners/)
### BEST FINTECH PARTNERSHIP
In November 2019, at the FINOS flagship [**Open Source Strategy Forum**](https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-strategy-forum/), FINOS Platinum member Goldman Sachs announced their intention to open source its internally developed [**Legend**](https://legend.finos.org/)data management platform into FINOS.
Legend provides an excellent opportunity to bring subject matter expertise to data models, as its single, visual platform enables engineers and non-engineers - regardless of their technical background - to develop data-centric applications and data-driven insights.
Between April and September 2020, Goldman Sachs led several data modeling efforts as part of the[**FINOS Legend Studio Pilot**](applewebdata://36B86BBF-04AA-4648-A37E-290E07F0CB85/finos-legend-case-study-2021-download-page)to develop extensions to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association's Common Domain Model (ISDA CDM).
The Legend Pilot established a model for future collaboration, where:
- FINOS provides a secure environment for the financial services community to seamlessly develop open source code and standards
- Financial services organizations contribute use cases and code
- Standards bodies consolidate industry-wide input in a transparent and efficient way.
Legend was open sourced and contributed into FINOS in late 2020 and is available on [**GitHub**](https://github.com/finos/legend) for anyone to use and contribute to.
Earlier in 2021, Goldman Sachs announced the creation of an Open Source Program Office and the launch of the [**Goldman Sachs Developer Blog**](https://developer.gs.com/blog/). They recently contributed the [**CatchIt**](https://github.com/finos/CatchIT) Secret Scanner into FINOS. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Goldman Sachs, and to fostering the growth of open source in financial services.
