Omgeo is mandating that its block-level OASYS Global investment manager clients move to usage of the Omgeo Central Trade Manager (Omgeo CTM) by April 2008 and Singularity, an Omgeo-certified STP partner, has developed its Omgeo CTM interface specifically to allow efficient transition to Omgeo CTM usage. "Our clients trust in Singularity's deep experience in matching technologies, exception processing, and STP, and will rely on us to support them in a successful Omgeo CTM migration", said Jayesh Patel, Delivery Manager at Singularity.
