SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 10, 2013) - Advent Software, Inc. (
Advent received the award after an extensive review process that included both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The Markets Media Editorial Team initially reached out to more than 50 senior-level professionals representing all major market sectors and company types. This was followed by an online survey where select industry practitioners were asked to vote for a winner based on certain criteria, which further helped validate the process. Finally, the Advisory Board at Markets Media convened to compare the results from both processes before sending their recommendations to the Editorial Team to determine the final results, selecting Advent as the winner of the inaugural award for "Best Portfolio Management and Accounting Systems."
According to Mohan Virdee, Chief Executive Officer of Markets Media, "The award was based on buy-side traders' feedback citing the ease of use, functionality and seamless integration capabilities of Advent's solutions."

About Markets Media
Markets Media was launched in December 2007 to provide sophisticated, in-depth content spanning all sectors of the securities industry, delivered across a synergistic platform of print, online and events. In doing so, the company filled a longstanding void in the financial markets publishing and conference space.
Markets Media editorial mission is to cover the complex interrelationships among key decision makers at hedge funds, exchanges, money managers, pension funds, broker-dealers, alternative trading platforms, service providers and regulators in an ever evolving marketplace. In the wake of changes none of us could predict -- unprecedented government intervention in financial markets, the collapse of Wall Street legends, implosions of hedge funds, central banks acting in concert to ease strain on the global markets -- a new era of trading and investing has dawned. Marketplaces have swelled with new entrants, while other players have assumed new roles, either as entrepreneurs or with a growing middle market that has assumed center stage.
Online, in print and at our conferences, Markets Media aims to demystify the strategies and sequence of events that shape investing and trading via direct contact with the people who make the calls that move markets and determine outcomes -- business-critical content that cannot be obtained anywhere else.
