ConvergEx Group Enhances Eze Data Management with New Form PF Solution

NEW YORK -- ConvergEx Group, a leading technology company, today announced that Eze Castle Software has expanded its enterprise data management offering, Eze Data Management, with Regulatory Filings Manager. Regulatory Filings Manager is a new Form PF reporting solution that seamlessly integrates with ConvergEx's award-winning order management system, the Eze OMS(TM), and other systems to automatically aggregate, consolidate and map crucial enterprise data for Form PF.

The new module streamlines and automates the Form PF filing process and provides a repository for storing multiple filings with version control. Leveraging a flexible and intuitive workflow, users can assign questions to other users across their organization and seamlessly file to the Securities and Exchange Commission via a fully tested FINRA interface. Users can also use Performance Data Manager, a component of Eze Data Management, to automatically populate questions with mapped data from other systems and service providers. After filing, users can review historical data that was used to compile their answers in the event of an audit.

"Regulatory Filings Manager is a natural extension of our enterprise-tested data management tools," says Phil Christianson, product manager for ConvergEx's Eze Castle Software. "When you use our data integration capabilities along with Performance Data Manager, our new tool provides a flexible and comprehensive solution to the challenges posed by Form PF such as multi-source data aggregation and auditing."

"As regulations increase, we see greater demand for a standardized and streamlined process that can be implemented around these filings," says Michael Hutner, managing director, co-head of global sales for ConvergEx's Eze Castle Software. "Pulling together necessary Form PF data for filing can be challenging. Through our partnership approach to client service, we are well positioned to help our customers when it comes to implementing Regulatory Filings Manager and making sure it works and meets their demands."

The award-winning Eze OMS leverages a real-time open architecture to streamline the investment cycle for all asset classes - from idea generation through settlement. The Eze OMS provides functionality to support portfolio management, compliance, trading and operations in a single platform.
