The boutique equity research firm and full service institutional broker-dealer will use the platform to support its growing business.

SS&C MarketTrader is a comprehensive, and cost-effective solution for the order and execution management needs of broker-dealers. Firms operate more efficiently at every step of the trading process: from order capture (via FIX or manually) to execution, transaction and compliance reporting.

"We selected SS&C after an in-depth review of order management system suppliers. The combination of SS&C MarketTrader's features, functionality, integration with other service providers and the firm's willingness to get the job done convinced us of its ability to become our business partner for the future," said Neil Crespi, President at Monness Crespi Hardt. "A smooth transition to a new order management provider was extremely important to us as our OMS is the lifeblood of our business. We couldn't afford to be down for a minute and the team at SS&C did a great job in getting us up and running without missing a beat. The client service team handled all of our questions and needs quickly and efficiently and went the extra mile to ensure the transition went smoothly with our traders and most importantly our clients."

"We are delighted to have been selected by Monness Crespi Hardt, one of the leading boutique equity research broker-dealers," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. "We are equally pleased with the continued expansion of MarketTrader's client base, solidifying our position as a valued partner in helping broker-dealers meet the demands of a challenging marketplace."
