A NEW APPROACH

GAIN is the new generation EDM approach. The flexibility of a modern platform is paired with comprehensive, maintained and fully integrated business applications; a business parameterization layer empowers business users to influence the system’s behaviour without relying on IT specialists.

GAIN EDM enables projects to be delivered more quickly with less development, thereby driving down the lifetime cost of ownership.

Private banks and wealth management institutions are under an enormous pressure to change. Held back by manual processing and legacy technology, they must rethink their operating models and keep their technology up to date to meet the expectations of their clients, both new and old. In many cases this requires an investment in systems and operational processes targeted at improving the quality and consistency of data across the organization.

Some choose to outsource some discrete functions, but most retain control of these in‑house. For those firms operating and expanding globally, the challenges become more acute in terms of governance and control, whilst for Wealth Management divisions operating within a global firm‑wide set up, the need to embrace HQ supplied data enriched locally with Business‑specific data also needs to be catered for. AIM Software has supplied solutions to all these challenges, and resolved them with its GAIN data management suite of offerings.

With more than 40 private banking institutions benefitting from GAIN, AIM Software is the leading and trusted provider of data management software to the private banking and wealth management community.

GAIN Corporate Actions DM

Centralized pricing operations at Western European Private BankThe bank needed to centralize and automate its pricing activities to both ensure data quality and respond to increasing regulatory demands. GAIN Portfolio Pricing is used to service its two primary business lines, Private Banking and Asset Management, whilst also offering a tailored-made pricing solution for its Fund Accounting service in another European location.

After only 4 months implementation time, GAIN now acts as a regulatory-compliant pricing service, improving the client service levels as well as the operational efficiency.

Furthermore, it supports the bank’s growth strategy within 11 countries across Europe and Latin America.

Automated corporate actions and tax events at Swiss Private Bank

Following a strategic decision to utilize a standardized software package for supporting its core operations, this private bank has decided to extend its existing Corporate Actions Business Process supported by Avaloq with a purpose-built business application for announcement capture using GAIN from AIM Software.

GAIN captures, matches and validates the corporate actions announcements.

The success of this project has resulted in the head office becoming the hub for the rest of the Group.
