The annual award honors the accomplishments and innovations of products and services designed for buy-side investment professionals. "Each year the level of competition for the Buy-Side Technology Awards is more intense in this increasingly advanced and evolving industry," says Victor Anderson, Editor, Buy-Side Technology magazine. "In the CRM category, we looked for functionality that was highly specific to the investment management industry. After careful consideration of all requirements, Advent was the clear choice of the judges, standing out significantly from competitors, specifically for its fully integrated approach and robust benefits to clients." A distinguished panel of judges drawn from investment industry technology advisors and the editors of Waters Technology assessed the nominees based on the product capabilities that allow firms to efficiently manage the vast and increasingly complex client relationships.
