FinArch has appointed 7 key individuals to meet the increased demand for Financial Studio and FRP based solutions:

“It is crucial for FinArch to grow appropriately in accordance with customer demand, not only in respect of new business, but also in terms of managing effectively our existing customer relationships,” says Nigel Lee, chief commercial officer for Financial Architects. “We are very satisfied with the market’s perception of our FRP based solutions. More and more customers understand the value add of our solutions approach not to mention the enormous economies of scale in adopting such a platform. We continue to lead the market in respect of the 4 cornerstones of FRP, Risk and Capital Management, Accounting, MIS and Regulatory Reporting as well as remaining unique in offering all 4 functional areas in 1 integrated platform.
“FRP has come of age as a result of the current economic climate. Never has there been a more appropriate time to adopt a new paradigm for successful management of Risk and Finance. The current situation demands new thinking and new action. In short, a new generation of solutions is not only required, but may indeed be the difference between Financial Institutions that survive and those that don’t. I have every confidence that 2009 will be another period of significant growth for Financial Architects and I wish the new members of this important team every success in their endeavors.”
