Albridge Data Convertor

Automated Data Conversion Tool For Advent Axys, Schwab Centerpiece 5 and FCSI dbCams+ Users

Finally, advisors, branch offices, and entire financial institutions with years of historical transaction data and client information can leverage their past investment as they make the move to Albridge's industry-leading, Web-based, consolidated portfolio accounting and performance reporting solution. Using Albridge Solutions' breakthrough consolidation and data-scrubbing technology, Albridge Data Convertor efficiently backloads historical account information from third-party software systems, such as Advent Axys, Schwab Centerpiece 5 and FCSI dbCAMS+ into Albridge Wealth Reporting.

Overcoming the import challenges presented with other systems, Albridge Solutions applies its proprietary scrubbing methodologies to the imported data, prior to joining it to the Albridge Wealth Reporting database. Advisors need only to "review and approve" the imported information, and it will automatically be entered into the data warehouse. Once there, it will augment your daily dealer-level data feeds with the additional historical data required for dynamic, detailed and accurate reporting.

How Albridge Data Convertor Works
After Albridge Solutions receives your data, the Data Convertor utility scrubs it, maps it to your existing core accounts, and then loads it into a separate database for your review and approval. Full editing privileges1 are available to you within the "Review and Approve" screens, enabling you to easily manage any data issues that might crop up. Automated "Recon Transactions" and Alerts help to identify discrepancies, and mitigate Compliance concerns with the unreconciled legacy system data. Once approved, the now-scrubbed, imported data is automatically added to the existing core data, providing you with a rich transaction-level and cost basis history for the ultimate in client performance reporting and account management.

Benefits of Albridge Data Convertor

    Performance History Reporting
    Having all your clients' historical transactions consolidated with their current account data will enable you to provide accurate performance reporting for a greater span of history, including more "since inception" reporting.

    Cost Basis Reporting
    Albridge Data Convertor gives you the ability to provide accurate Cost Basis reporting, and enables you to better manage realized and unrealized account information for your clients.

    One Centralized Database
    Transition off your old Portfolio Management Software system and consolidate all your reporting and data management through the Albridge Wealth Reporting revolutionary Web-based solution.

    Enhanced Client Services
    Easily access all of your client and account information through one system, enabling faster and more accurate reporting, when preparing to speak to or meet with your clients.

    Audit and Compliance Support
    Having comprehensive historical data is crucial when responding to requests by the SEC during an audit process. When reviewing fees and transactions, it is not unusual for the SEC to go back two or three years -- or even more -- and they'll want to see the actual account values that were used for fee calculations. Albridge Data Convertor helps to put much of the necessary data right at the advisor's fingertips, allowing them to quickly and efficiently complete the audit with the least amount of disruption to their business.

    Portable Consolidated Information
    Your now-enhanced consolidated client and account information can be archived or utilized with other applications for client data-mining and business-building activities.

How To Get Started
You only need to provide us with the data files from your current system. We will give you detailed delivery instructions, outlining exactly which data fields to provide, and will indicate the areas that are key to helping achieve the most successful data conversion. Once we have received your data, an Albridge Data Conversion specialist will review it, and will ensure that any questions are properly addressed before commencing with the data load.

How To Take Advantage of Albridge Data Convertor
Advisors should check with their broker-dealer/home office to see if they have been approved, as well as to learn the current pricing structure for your broker-dealer. If Albridge Data Convertor has been approved, you can contact us and we will walk you through the registration process, and provide you with instructions for how to obtain and deliver your historical data to Albridge Solutions.

If you can't wait for Albridge Data Convertor to be approved by your broker-dealer, or you have only partial historical data in an existing portfolio management system, you can take advantage of the Albridge Wealth Reporting Historical Entry feature. Historical Entry allows you to manually update all of your Initial Positions in a similar manner to Albridge Data Convertor, and with the same reconciliation and approval controls. Please contact your broker dealer/home office to see if the Historical Entry feature has been approved for your use.

Current Albridge Data Convertor interfaces include Advent Axys, Schwab Centerpiece 5 and FCSI dbCAMS+. We are currently developing interfaces to other applications and proprietary legacy systems. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.
