Historically within the middle office, different systems were required in different business areas - for example by asset classes, investment styles and across geographies. As a result, middle office analytic operations are typically fragmented from both analytical application and geographic perspectives. This causes inefficiencies, multiple points of potential failure and increased ownership costs. Anova enables investment management firms to conduct business functions in a very different way, realising new levels of efficiency, accuracy and seamless global operations.
