We routinely take on projects of a consultative nature that address specific client requirements and problems. These custom projects are almost always technology intensive, involving development which others are unwilling or unable to do. Our internal development capability affords us the opportunity to customize software. Clients benefit from a platform that meets their specific requirements today and may be enhanced for the future.
Capitalizing on our experience in the alternatives industry, we built FM3 from the ground up to tackle the challenges of servicing alternative investments. Technologists and developers are embedded in-house to optimize collaboration and learn via front-line exposure to our service environment. We believe our custom projects approach to system development drives an outcome which is otherwise difficult to achieve.
Used day in and day out as our internal fund servicing solution, FM3 has evolved into an open third generation technology platform that is comprehensive in scope and extensible in design. FM3’s service oriented architecture provides unfettered functionality, scale and possibility.
