SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 08/19/13 — Advent Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADVS) today announced the successful integration of Advent-s Black Diamond portfolio management, reporting and rebalancing platform with Schwab OpenView Gateway. As one of the first portfolio management and reporting vendors to integrate with Schwab OpenView Gateway, Advent is extending the availability of custodial data in collaboration with Schwab Intelligent Technologies to include intraday information, account profiles, reports, and operational alerts to streamline clients- daily workflows.
Through this collaboration, Black Diamond and Schwab-s mutual clients can access the specific intraday data from Schwab Advisor Center® right within Black Diamond.
