WatersTechnology Asia Awards 2020: Best Third-Party Technology Provider—SS&C Eze

Boston-based SS&C Eze is the first recipient of the highest profile category of the 26 on offer in the inaugural WatersTechnology Asia Awards: best third-party technology provider. The front-office tech and services specialist also won the best execution management system (EMS) and best order management system (OMS) categories, which, when deployed in tandem, tend to constitute the heart of most buy-side firms’ front offices. 

“We’re extremely excited to be recognized as the best overall technology provider in this year’s WatersTechnology Asia Awards,” says Edward Bee, managing director for Asia-Pacific at SS&C Eze. “This award validates our commitment to providing the Asia-Pacific investment management community with industry-leading solutions that transform their investment processes, optimize their operational and investment alpha, and grow their business. We’re honored to accept this award as we further strengthen our presence across Asia-Pacific and deliver best-of-breed technology, coupled with personalized client service experience.”

This award acknowledges the extent to which the SS&C Eze team in the region collaborates and tailors its services according to its clients’ needs. Bee cites the firm’s unique partnership approach and the strength of its presence across the Asia-Pacific region, which ensures that it has a deep understanding of its clients’ challenges, their workflows and their various business imperatives. “In times like this, reliability and trust really matter,” explains Bee, with reference to the ongoing business and operational challenges of the past few months. “Covid-19 has been a true test of our agility and the depth of our team. We’re incredibly proud of how we’ve responded and our team remains laser-focused on our clients’ success and delivering results.” 

According to Bee, SS&C Eze continued to execute on implementations and client projects throughout the development of the Covid-19 crisis, and as the situation evolved, the firm’s scale and expertise of its service teams in the region helped it to move quickly, respond to clients’ needs, and help them through the transition. This year has highlighted the value that working with a true technology partner can bring to the firm over the long-term, he says. 

Looking to the future, SS&C Eze is, according to Bee, committed to delivering the Asia-Pacific investment management community with innovative solutions that simplify their investment processes and enable them to focus on alpha generation. “We launched our first Asia-Pacific office in Hong Kong more than 12 years ago and today there are 350 SS&C Eze employees across the region. We’ll continue to build on our local presence and partner with our clients in the region to build new features and functionality that meet their evolving needs,” he says.
