The financial world is moving to XML, but what are the practicalities? Are the tools ready? Will they scale? Are the techniques sufficiently mature, or is there still a lot to learn? These questions will be among those put to the panel, to determine where XML is ready to provide good solutions to financial needs, and where XML needs to develop more if it is to fit the bill. Is XML fulfilling your needs? Bring your own questions and experiences - the more problematic, the better.
