Hard work knows no boundaries

We can’t believe that the year 2007 is actually drawing to a close. After months of meetings, proposals and heaps of transactions, we’ve hardly noticed the approaching festive season (Christmas) that marks the end of the calendar year!

The past three months have proved to be extremely busy, yet fulfilling. Not one to rest on our laurels, we have spared no expense in the improvement of our existing solutions, and the expansion of our product range to meet the various needs of the diverse financial industry market. In improving our existing solutions, we have invested a great deal of time with our existing clients to gather feedback and suggestions.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continued support and endeavour to continually present you with cutting edge and user friendly solutions. In the meantime, do allow us to share with you some exciting events that have taken place thus far!

Global Strategies

As one of our pioneering users of the Portfolio Designer, Global Strategies has expressed their immense satisfaction with our products. Recently, we were called upon to offer opinions and advise pertaining to the additional services of which Global Strategies was offering to their customers.

In no time, we were able to develop a merged customer holding data system which enabled Global Strategies’ base of customers to not only view their individual holding valuations, but also their combined valuations across all investment products! Global Strategies was delighted with the short time taken by us to develop the application, and with the fact that once again, our solution has contributed greatly to added convenience, translating into greater customer satisfaction.

IPPFA

We have also invested a great deal of time and effort into the development of a personalised version of the Portfolio Designer for IPPFA. The customised version of the award winning software now allows IPP advisors to build a fully compliant portfolio with the use of real time data, while researching and showcasing all the IPP champion funds in minutes, enabling IPP advisors to carry out many common functions in less time, and with ease. The addition of a “slider” at the bottom of the fund showcase page allows for quick monthly comparisons of IPP Champion funds over a period of three years.

In addition, we have also completed the delivery of the five key middle office modules to the IPP offices. These modules introduce full CRM capabilities, company performance dashboards, automated portfolio management and the much anticipated straight through processing! The introduction of these modules enables IPP customers to enable real time asset holding valuations, which can be based on individual policies, multiple policies or an entire consolidated valuation of all holdings.

As we approach the year 2008, we will leave no stone unturned to continually revolutionize the portfolio management industry with the provision of our cutting edge, yet user friendly solutions!
