Innovative technologies revolutionise investment management

In today's increasingly regulated financial environment, investment management companies have made streamlining their operations - particularly their technology infrastructure - an imperative. As firms look to replace legacy systems that can no longer keep up with rapid industry developments, Advent Software provides the technology that investment managers need to offer innovative products and grow their businesses.

Advent offers software solutions that address a variety of operational requirements for investment management firms - from fund accounting and reporting to trading and research management.

"Unlike our competitors that sell single systems, we are cognisant of the differences between business lines and the user workflows within a firm," says Pete Hess, president and CEO. "This gives us a three-dimensional view into the unique needs of each client and allows us to deliver scalable systems to meet their needs."

Advent aims to take the investment management industry to a higher level of operational efficiency through cloud-based solutions. Advent Direct, the company's new cloud-based platform, enables rapid development and delivery of mobile solutions essential to clients' businesses.

Advent has an extensive global footprint through the overseas subsidiaries of its American clients in more than 50 countries and a growing base of local clients in Asia and around the world.

In Asia, in particular, continuing wealth creation is stimulating the establishment of local investment management firms and, in turn, generating a real need for proven technology solutions such as those that Advent provides. The company's on-the-ground presence in Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore is instrumental in helping it respond to growing demand.
