A team of department heads from compliance, portfolio administration, and dealing (trading) was formed to evaluate its systems and processes.<\/p>\n<p>SII had been using a portfolio accounting system from a third-party vendor, along with a variety of spreadsheet-driven applications to manage its dealing. In addition, the firm was using a separate third-party EMS (execution management system) to handle the order routing and trade communication process with brokers.<\/p>\n<p>SII determined that replacing the legacy portfolio accounting system would be helpful to its business and its clients.<\/p>\n<p>SII\u2019s initial system search included a dozen or so vendors, both large and small, and the firm began to contact each vendor to conduct due diligence. INDATA was included in the search, following a reference from one of SII\u2019s peer investment managers in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>After a careful review of iPM, it was determined that the system met SII\u2019s general needs with regard to portfolio accounting functionality. A number of advantages were noted during a review of iPM\u2019s portfolio modeling and dealing functionality. It soon became clear that iPM might not only be able to improve the firm\u2019s back office processes, but also benefit other areas of the business.<\/p>\n<p>Having vetted iPM\u2019s functionality, SII began to turn its attention to technology and system architecture matters. SII has been an early adopter of cloud systems deployment, having previously implemented its own private cloud hosted by London-based IT vendor, Lanware. It became apparent\u00a0that iPM was compatible with the firm\u2019s own cloud computing philosophy and systems deployment model.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>With its analysis complete, the SII team agreed that from a functionality, integration, and technology standpoint, iPM was the clear choice for the firm.<\/p>\n<p>Decision made, SII began the process of implementing iPM. As with any back-to-front office implementation, a number of improvements were identified that would greatly enhance iPM\u2019s already robust capabilities for SII. &#8220;What impressed us was INDATA\u2019s willingness to enhance iPM combined with their ability to deliver high priority enhancements in a timely fashion,&#8221; said Steve Allen, Partner, Information Technology &amp; Dealing for SII.<\/p>\n<p>With the iPM system in place, SII has noticed an increase in operational efficiency in terms of investment administration and dealing functions. This allows SII staff to focus on the business of managing investments. Allen continued, \u201cOur firm\u2019s philosophy is that the simplest solution is often the best one. For us, implementing an integrated back-to-front office investment management system was best.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<h2><strong>ABOUT iPM \u2013 Intelligent Portfolio Management<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>INDATA\u2019s iPM is a platform and set of technologies that allows end users to collaborate in real time across the enterprise. iPM is designed to increase end-user productivity, enhance the investment process, and offer real-time risk, compliance, and performance monitoring as well as integrated tools for marketing.<\/p>\n<p>The key differentiator of INDATA\u2019s iPM technology is that it guides users\u2019 daily workflow allowing them to operate more efficiently and make better decisions; whereas traditional legacy systems are merely \u201cbookkeeping\u201d packages that require end-user input rather than proactively alerting users to situations and\/or processes that need immediate or future attention.<\/p>\n<p>iPM can be utilized in the Cloud, a concept that greatly simplifies the installation, maintenance, and ongoing support of the product suite. Simply put, we make it easy for our clients to focus on using the software and services that meet their needs without worrying about monitoring and managing ancillary hardware and software.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>Client Profile: <\/strong>Silchester
