Advent Software, Inc.: Advent Announces Alliance With Chicago Clearing Corporation
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - September 16, 2009) - Advent Software, Inc. (
With 17 years in the class action arena, CCC files and manages securities class action claims for investment professionals and their clients. Through its alliance with Advent, CCC will enable Advent clients to manage multiple claims and administrators through a single source, removing the burden of filing claims internally, and saving Advent clients both time and resources.
Specifically, Advent clients using Advent Portfolio Exchange® (APX), its award-winning portfolio management solution or Axys®, its turnkey portfolio accounting solution, will be able to integrate with CCC's claim filing solution. The integration is free to mutual customers. In addition, CCC will provide class action monitoring notifications at no cost to clients using Advent Corporate Actions® (ACA), Advent's corporate actions service.
"We chose CCC as an Alliance Partner because of their proven reputation and the fact that their services have been endorsed by more than 100 Advent customers," said Alison Swabowicz, Senior Straight-Through-Processing Product Manager at Advent. "We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with CCC to provide our customers with a solution that makes it easier for them to manage the security class action claims process on behalf of their clients."
"Servicing Advent clients is a pleasure for CCC and we are honored to be an Advent Alliance Partner," said James Tharin, Chief Executive Officer, Chicago Clearing Corporation. "Due to the market meltdown of the last two years, class action securities settlements are expected to increase. CCC will relieve the exhausting claim filing burden from Advent's clients and deliver the class action settlement proceeds intended for Advent's investment advisors' clients."
Concluded George McLaughlin, Director of Alliances, Advent Software, "Our relationship with CCC is another example of how Advent is building a network of proven Alliance Partners to support our client base and their business objectives. We are very pleased to continue to offer our clients further value, flexibility and choice through these relationships."
