State Street Corporation, (State Street), NYSE:STT, today
announced it will adopt Microsoft Azure, Microsoft’s cloud
computing platform, to deploy the Charles River Investment
Management Solution (Charles River IMS) on. As part of the
agreement, Charles River will also incorporate Microsoft Power BI
and Microsoft Teams into Charles River IMS.
Charles River’s cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) model
helps investment firms simplify and improve operations, scale more
readily, increase user satisfaction and better manage operational
risk. By using Azure, Charles River will be able to rapidly deploy
new products and services, more easily increase data and computing
capacity, and serve all geographies on a single platform. Azure’s
sophisticated security infrastructure will also provide AI-based
sentinel services to detect and prevent security breaches. The
integration of Power BI and Teams adds a full complement of
analytics, dashboarding, reporting, and collaboration capabilities,
providing clients with additional means to configure Charles River
IMS to meet the unique requirements of their investment
processes.
“Our use of Microsoft Azure is a logical next step in Charles
River’s evolution as a cloud-based enterprise investment management
solution provider,” said John Plansky, CEO of Charles River. “Cloud
utilization through Azure will enhance our clients’ experience,
enabling them to more easily adopt Charles River IMS’ latest
functionality and keep pace against an industry backdrop of
heightened market volatility, margin compression, and industry
consolidation. Azure also provides the robust infrastructure our
global client base requires to address growing regulatory
requirements around data residency and movement. Integrating
Microsoft Power BI and Teams boosts our collaboration by enabling
Charles River IMS to better support clients’ business intelligence
needs, as well as their desire to have built-in collaboration
capabilities”
Edward Fandrey, Vice President US Financial Services, Microsoft
Corp., said, “Charles River’s use of Microsoft Azure will provide
institutional asset managers with a scalable, flexible and highly
performant platform for managing their investments and servicing
their investors. We are proud of our collaboration with Charles
River and their choice of Azure, Microsoft Power BI, and Microsoft
Teams to better serve their clients.”
