SAUFM & IMASA

JOINT MARKET INFORMATION SYSTEMS WORKGROUP

Overview

A committee was established to create a shared platform for agents, markets and key suppliers of technology.

This was done in order to coordinate, share and pro-actively contribute to management of information and technology related issues on markets.
