SunGard says that Financial i magazine has named SunGard’s Phase3 as the most innovative brokerage securities processing system in the magazine’s “Leaders in Innovation Awards.”
Financial i selected winners in conjunction with leading analyst firms and consultants in the industry, based on product innovation over the last 12 to 18 months, cost effectiveness of solutions in terms of implementation and deployment, potential business benefits, ease of implementation, and the ability to tackle specific business issues or problems.
“SunGard was chosen because of its well-integrated approach, the ability to combine ancillary products with Phase3, and the flexibility provided for customers to pursue best-of-breed solutions,” says Anita Hawser, the editor of Financial i.
“This award highlights the value of Phase3 and the substantial innovations SunGard has achieved in recent years to help our global institutional and retail brokerage customers better streamline their back office operations,” adds Gerard Murphy, the president of SunGard’s Phase3 business unit. “We continue to focus on the areas of integration, transactional data consolidation, and real-time workflows designed to help firms improve their ability to assess profitability, risk and business decisions, while supporting customers holistically across the traditional trading and operational silos. Leveraging SunGard’s Common Services Architecture (CSA) helps us to provide customers with a more flexible, open service-oriented architecture (SOA) framework and reduce our time to market on new capabilities.”
