    This is well suited in the investment services area especially for multiple users and those working on a remote basis. A full integration of activity such as transactions, daily activity, client reporting, account updates, account processing are available. Majority of systems are real time for all end users as well as clients who choose to do so. Better feed back and notification on updates would be helpful.

    It is excellent for account opening, document aggregation and storage, tracking and correspondence. It is lacking in its interface and is often not intuitive or user friendly. I have had difficulty running specialized reports in the past and have had to call customer service for issues that should be easy to solve on one's own. There sometimes be a tremendous delay when interfacing with other programs like Microsoft Word.

    Alternatives Considered
    Broadridge
    Artisan was evaluated but seen as a more costly system with too much customization needed. Broadridge Client Information Management is ready to use and the build out is less of a necessity. Artisan is available to those who would like more of a work in progress. We did also review XTIVA but it was cumbersome when bringing in outside, direct data.

    While we have considered making a change we did not see the merit in considering any other companies. Additionally, the pricing is so attractive it is hard for other companies to compete for our business. At no point in the last 10 years have we seriously considered making a change
