New Trade Blotter Released

AnalytX announces the release of new Trade Blotter functionality for the Objective Assets platforms including PEO, ORE and ONW.  Using the Trade Blotter, asset transactions can easily be batched up for valuations, purchases, disposals, or any other type of configured transaction.  The Trade Blotter exploits AnalytX's proprietary Adaptive Financial Component Technology - easily the most robust transactions engine available for alternative assets. 

Per Amy Schlater Drury, Manager of Client Support out of San Francisco:  “The Trade Blotter is huge for my venture capital clients because the Excel type cross-tab entries of mark to market valuations are now tremendously simplified.”  Amy continues in her emphatic style:  “For my multifamily office clients using ONW, the Trade Blotter is critical because up and down changes in interim valuation mark to markets for hedge fund investments can be made instantly – even before the capital account statement is available."

Enhanced Waterfall Rule Engine

The next generation of the waterfall rules engine processor has just been released for inclusion into the OA framework including PEO.  The new engine offers easy to use expressions, a significantly faster expression parser, and a larger repertoire of pre-assembled rule logic components.  An improved graphical user interface is also included to access the rule logic for balances and actions based upon calculated balances.

“The most important element of modeling waterfalls in private equity…” per Matt McCormack, Director of Software Development, “is that we built an engine which is highly extensible – virtually without limitation to model any waterfall.  And also essential, one that isn’t a nefarious ‘black-box'.   Our model is powerful, extensible, and the rules document their actions as they process."  McCormack adds:  "We are always excited to see new structures, model new rule variations, and watch the engine perform.”

New Data Warehouse Simplifies Reporting

AnalytX has released it's second-generation data warehouse for the ObjectiveAssets family of products - ObjectiveWarehouse(tm). The data warehouse tremendously simplifies reporting by consolidating all information into ten detailed views that can be queried from Excel or any SQL-based report writer.  The data warehouse was created by working closely with one of AnalytX's top clients - the superlative team at UBS Global Real Estate. 



Elaborating on the benefits of the warehouse, Ivana Vrbic, the software engineer responsible for ObjectiveWarehouse  states; "The great thing about the data warehouse is that the structures are configured to the user’s preferences. Contact attribute names and transaction component names are easily understood by users, because they defined them. They can take ownership and query the data warehouse immediately."  In essence, the data warehouse processes information into simplified structures including contact, deal, fundraising, transaction, and investor-snapshot information that can easily be queried by users.

Among the benefits of the data warehouse, besides its simple elegance, is that various tools, such as Excel, MS Access, Crystal Reports, and Microsoft Reporting Services, can be utilized to query the structures.  Quote from a beta test client; "I feel that we have come full circle. We migrated from using Excel, eliminating redundancy from data in multiple excel sheets, and standardized our reporting, which was excellent.  Now we can export to Excel on demand so that we can perform custom analysis for our upcoming partner meeting AND I don't need to contact our vendor to pull this off!"

Rise of the Vero Beach Office in Florida

For some time now, AnalytX has been pursuing best practices for balancing front and back office client support.  Over the past several years, Vero Beach, Florida has proven to be an excellent location for the US based back office.   Areas such as web products support, helpdesk, IT integration, and implementation tie-out are now being managed out of the Vero Beach office.  In essence, this structure frees up relationship managers based out of San Francisco, New York, and Boston and allows them to focus on client management and facilitation, while the bulk of the work gets performed by  the back office team.  Back office Support for Europe, the Middle East and Asia, managed by our London front office team, continues to be supported out of Central Europe. 

 


To support ongoing growth, the Vero Beach team moved to a larger office space this summer. Also, in order to improve our level of internal collaboration and service to clients, we have made substantial improvements  in our IT infrastructure by implementing a T4 Internet connection with backup power supply, that is directly connected via underground cables to a power grid.  For disaster recovery, we have redundancy setup with a second T4 Internet connection and mirrored critical servers out of Virginia.  This Internet connectivity and data-center consisting of over 40 servers operates as the technology back-bone for AnalytX worldwide operations. 

The contact information for the Vero Beach Office is:

Suite 206
