Advent Software (NASDAQ: ADVS), the leading provider of software and services for the global investment management industry, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued to it US Patent # 7644088. The patented invention is a key component of Tamale RMS®, Advent’s industry-leading research management solution, which enables investment professionals to more easily find and retrieve research related to specific investment queries or topics. The patent, applied for in 2004 with the USPTO, relates to computer based tools that allow investment professionals to associate information with a particular entity upon receipt, and to further facilitate the retrieval, update, and distribution of that information either upon request or in real-time.
Tamale RMS® is the industry’s first software solution uniquely designed to help asset managers and analysts organize and share the research data they rely on to make critical investment decisions. The software enables a firm to tag its research, along multiple dimensions, creating a sophisticated matrix of relationships between research items. Tamale RMS® traverses this matrix to intelligently filter huge quantities of research to identify the most relevant information for investment decision making. Through an easy-to-use interface, Tamale RMS® facilitates the retrieval of proprietary and external research, such as financial models, contacts, news, events and essential Web sites. Tamale RMS® allows firms to replace inefficient, disorganized filing systems based on email and shared folders or proprietary applications that require ongoing investment and support.
“Tamale RMS® is specifically designed to support the core activities of investment professionals and enhance the research and investment decision-making process,” said John Fawcett, Senior Director, Product Development at Advent. “The issuance of this patent by the USPTO recognizes one of many innovations that make up our unique research management solution. Our investment in the development of Tamale RMS® has enabled us to deliver the advanced tools and solutions that our clients have come to expect from Advent.”
