Which Wombat Financial Software white papers would you like to receive?
 
Market Data Technology
Wombat Platform
Wombat provides a broad and richly capable solution suite designed to integrate, distribute and enable action on market data from hundreds of data sources- with minimal latency. This whitepaper provides a high level overview of the combined solution suite and the most significant products within it.
 
Wombat Universal Feed Handler Suite
The product that started it all. Wombat has been creating feed handlers for data sources for nearly 10 years, with a catalog that now encompasses the most destinations in the market. Exchanges, brokers, e-markets and vendor feeds are all covered, around the globe, for every liquid asset class.
 
Wombat Feed Handler Inventory
A complete list of the feed handlers Wombat has developed to date, as well as those in set for delivery in the near future.
 
Wombat Bloomberg Feed Handlers
The Wombat B-Pipe Feed Handler fully integrates the two available configurations of the Bloomberg; B-Pipe Broadcast (for high volume broadcast data service) and B-Pipe On-Demand (BPOD) (a lower bandwidth interactive data service). Both offerings give the full breadth and depth of Bloomberg's rich data content, from exchanges and contributors worldwide, as well as Bloomberg proprietary content.
 
Wombat Fixed Income Feed Handlers
The Wombat Market Data Platform has been specifically designed to deliver ultra low latency market data. The Wombat Fixed Income Feed Handlers can be deployed on this award winning platform, as well as other market data infrastructures, offering customers unparalleled flexibility and choice.
 
Caching and Distribution
All but the most simplistic market data architecture require technology to address efficient data fan-out, whether it be to multitudes of applications on a local trading floor, or to remote operations or customers across a wide area connection. Wombat caching and distribution products allow for the provision of data to such consumers with an ideal balance of speed, reliability and cost effectiveness
 
Beyond Compliance: Competing in a Post-MiFID Environment
The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) imposes critical new requirements upon price transparency necessary in the provision of best execution. As a result, trading operations require the tools to pull fragmented liquidity into a single view and act on it with minimal latency. This whitepaper describes Wombat's solution to address those challenges
 
Wombat Traffic Control
Today's market data volume increases and, more specifically, the surge in quote volumes places excessive pressure on downstream applications. This pressure not only decreases the timeliness and completeness of the market data received by the applications but also is causing more and more chronic application instability. Wombat Traffic Control provides clients with the ability to perform real-time conflation at the feed handler level thereby protecting their underlying market data platform and applications.
 
Wombat RealtimeXL
Wombat RealtimeXL is designed to present the ever increasing volumes of market data on the desktop in the most efficient manner possible while maintaining the lowest possible latencies available on the Wombat Market Data Platform. Wombat RealtimeXL provides the highest performance, real-time, desktop tool for users of Microsoft ExcelTM leveraging the capabilities of Wombat's MAMA API. No longer are users required to choose between flexibility and performance; Wombat RealtimeXL provides both without sacrificing latency.
 
High Performance Middleware
MAMA 4.0 Product Sheet
Application programming interfaces can have a dramatic impact on the productivity of developers and the speed and quality of the data received from the system supporting it. Wombat's Middleware Agnostic Middleware API, now in its 4th generation, provides a unified, production proven integration framework designed for maximum speed, stability and flexibility across a range of underlying middlewares
 
Wombat Data Fabric
Competition in the trading markets demands a middleware platform that can reliably deliver data from dozens of sources to hundreds of applications in a matter of microseconds. And with market data increasing anywhere from 2 to 4 times in volume each year, and datacenter space as expensive and scarce as ever, that middleware must also deliver far greater levels of compute resource efficiency. Wombat Data Fabric is a revolutionary new shared memory middleware designed to address both these demands, for market data, order routing, and beyond. (Available only under NDA.

Compliance
DART Product Sheet
Whether it be a data viewing application, or one designed to consume market data via automated applications, the people and processes which consume market data must be properly monitored, measured and paid for. Wombat's DART Entitlements helps market participants to control access to and measure and report on usage of such data to stay in compliance and meet obligations as efficiently as possible.
 
Trading Technology
Wombat Acumen Suite
Algorithmic trading is a matter of speed- the performance on ones applications, and the ability to deliver new business logic to market as quickly as possible. To address both those demands, Wombat offers a platform for creating automated trading operations with best in class technology based on an event processing framework. From tick capture to real-time calculation and analysis, the Acumen platform is an ideal foundation to build upon.
