Dealing with a six-fold increase in market data in the past three years was a challenge even before FINRA's role expanded beyond regulating NASDAQ, NYSE and other exchanges.

In this session, Marty will discuss his innovative deployment strategy, which saved the authority $1.5 million a year and won FINRA a 2009 CIO 100 award.
