Evolving modular wealth management solutions to streamline portfolio control for financial and asset managers

IMVS is a Birmingham-based ISV providing a comprehensive suite of modular software solutions for financial asset managers. The software encompasses the entire process – from managing stock portfolios to interacting with clients. And integrates easily with many other applications to achieve automated workflows. The low-code platform offered by USoft also enables IMVS to make ongoing adjustments for compliance with financial and privacy laws and regulations.

The challenge

As a software provider for the financial sector, IMVS needs to keep its solutions compliant with constantly changing laws and regulations – with GDPR and MiFID2 as recent examples. The company needed a flexible and modern platform that would enable IMVS to evolve its solutions along with the market.

Small development team

Agile software provider focusing on small and mid-sized financial asset managers

IMVS has a tremendous competitive advantage on the UK market among small and mid-sized asset managers seeking customization and personal service over faceless global providers.
To retain that advantage, IMVS needs to make quick adjustments in response to client needs, without requiring a “veritable army of developers”.

Legal requirements

Adapt quickly to constantly changing laws and regulations

The asset managers served by IMVS have to accommodate changing laws and regulations with a short time frame for implementation.
The software needed to support customizable compliance reporting that met all the legal requirements for IMVS and its clients.

Redesign

Switching platforms to a modern development environment

After a management buyout, IMVS decided to switch development platforms and rebuild its software from scratch.
IMVS wanted a low-code platform based on business rules that would support ongoing development.

Why IMVS chose USoft
