Tue, April 14, 2009 Advent Software, Inc.: Independent Advisor Turns to Advent Software to Outsource Operations
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - April 14, 2009) - Advent Software, Inc. (
Advent offers clients a wide range of flexible delivery options for its solutions, from on-site installation to managed hosting to a fully outsourced environment with reporting and reconciliation services.
Alpha Fiduciary, founded in 2007 by Arthur Doglione, is an independent registered investment advisory firm based in Phoenix, Arizona. To get his business up and running, Doglione needed a portfolio accounting system, but he did not want to grow operational infrastructure or staff. After trying out a competitive system that lacked critical functionality, he turned to Advent.
By outsourcing, Alpha Fiduciary is able to take advantage of Advent's portfolio management solution for fast and easy real-time access to portfolio data, enhanced performance measurement, a scalable architecture to accommodate growth in assets and accounts, and streamlined report generation and packaging -- all without growing operational overhead. In addition, Advent provided Alpha Fiduciary with custodial downloads, data management, and daily reconciliation, including exception management.
"With Advent, we now have the functionality and flexibility we need at a competitive price; if we tried to do it in-house, we would probably have a fraction of the functionality," said Doglione. "I know Advent is going to keep their offering as current and competitive as possible and they'll continue to improve it. With Advent's technology, we feel that we're very well positioned to double or triple the size of the firm with very few additional staff members."
"For independent advisors looking to devote more time and resources to building their business and less time managing technology and operations, outsourcing offers a cost-effective way to benefit from Advent's industry-leading solutions and 25 years of experience," said Michael Lobosco, Director of Straight-Through-Processing at Advent. "We support hundreds of advisory practices through ABOS and have a proven track record of delivering high quality, reliable solutions to our clients. We are very pleased that ABOS has become the solution of choice for independent advisors like Alpha Fiduciary that need a scalable, reliable technology platform to help get their businesses up and running quickly and efficiently."
