Gravitas Technology, Inc., an IT services firm specializing in the alternative investment community, announced the signing of IT services for Amber Capital, the investment advisory company responsible for managing the $1.5 Billion Amber Fund.
Michel Brogard, Managing Partner, Amber Capital, states: “Gravitas Technology has proven to be a strong fit for our launch this month. We are not a start-up fund so there was no ramp-up period and all IT services, day-to-day management and special software programs had to be running day one of the launch. Gravitas provided this seamlessly. We are pleased with the expertise which the Gravitas team brings to our business. We look forward to a long ongoing relationship as we plan to build additional services and support to offer to our team and clients.”
Mr. Brogard further states: “We plan to use the expertise of Gravitas for our technology functions, including the upcoming selection of an Order Management System and a Portfolio Accounting System, back-office processing and IT functions. By outsourcing IT functions to Gravitas, Amber Capital can remain entirely focused on its core business of fund management and servicing investors. During our selection review for technology support it became apparent that Gravitas’ 10+ years experience would make them the right choice to manage the implementation of our new offices and provide ongoing IT support services including: Cabling, telephone systems, computer network including email, file servers, remote connectivity, email retention and disaster recovery setup and ongoing support.”
