How it works
The Consortium officially started on October 6, 2014.
Since January 2019, Mumps Technologies SAS has been appointed as the new manager of the Consortium.
Mumps Tech proposes new subscription agreements giving access to similar services as offered to members
of the MUMPS Consortium. Please contact Mumps Technologies .
The MUMPS Consortium is composed of the Founding Members, represented by the Manager on the one hand, and Members, on the other hand. Each Member of the Consortium is represented in the Consortium Committee. The Consortium Committee meets once per year, in order to examine the work performed within the context of the Consortium, and to propose a work programme for the future. The meetings of the Consortium Committee are the opportunity for Members of the Consortium to express their views on the work performed, suggest future work and contribute to its definition, although final decisions will still be made by the Technical Committee of the MUMPS software.
Members will also have access to the services defined below.
