Overview InvestorGrade is a consulting firm that provides staffing and outsourcing solutions for Hedge Funds, Fund Administrators, and Prime Brokers. We are focused on the implementation, upgrade and support of Advent Geneva, Sungard VPM, and the Paladyne Suite of products. Personnel The company consists of consultants that range from 2 years to 27 years of experience. Though our personnel have a wide range of skills, spanning many products and multiple disciplines (project management, business analysis, accounting, quality assurance, networking, SQL, C#, VB, Java, C++, RSL, Perl, etc.) - we have chosen to focus on a tight engagement profile so that we can provide very high value for clients. Focus Our target project profile is a hedge fund, fund administrator, or prime broker that is implementing Advent Geneva, Sungard VPM, or the Paladyne product suite. We know these products, we believe in them, we understand the customers that use these products, and we are focused on being the best at using these products to solve customer problems. Value This focus allows us to provide greater value to clients. As an organization, quality and process are important to us. InvestorGrade was founded by seasoned consultants who have worked a long time as technology consultants in the investment community, and who had the idea that things could be done better, with both consultants and clients reaping the benefits of greater process and efficiency in the implementation process. However we found that if we "did it all", that it was more difficult to develop the reusable templates, processes, and skills that we wanted to build upon. By narrowing the scope of what we do, we have been able to become fast, efficient, and robust in our ability to quickly solve issues and get the job done. Depth When a client wants to implement one of these products, we can do the whole implementation for them - and we've probably seen their situation before. We can build out the client's hardware, set up the hosting for them, install the software, connect the market data feeds, perform their data conversion, set up the counter-party reconciliations, and produce the custom reports that they want, whether those reports are in Geneva RSL, VPM, Paladyne Analytics Master, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) or SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS). |
