Lead analyst, Michael O’Neil, February 4, 2016

February 8, 2016 by Mary Allen
Maitland is a global legal and fund administration services provider, with a successful acquisition strategy that has driven growth. However, the firm also faced information management challenges in its efforts to integrate data from a key customer’s new Bloomberg order taking solution with legacy Maitland systems.
The Solution
Maitland deployed Information Builders’ iWay integration software to link systems in a way that is reliable, fast and seamless. Ultimately, the firm’s technology roadmap involves creation of a single platform that will allow clients to plug and play multiple different order systems.
