Mama is Open - why should clients care ?

Simply put - it represents a real chance to have a single market data abstraction that clients can commit to, resulting in significant benefits arising from code reuse, reduced support and better tooling when compared to supporting the multiple platforms that many organisations have today.

The days of Dick Grasso style pay are gone, and exchanges are subject to more competition than ever before. At the same time their clients, or at...
