These latest enhancements to Asset Control's AC Plus data management software build upon AC Plus Desktop's localization capabilities for processing, editing and displaying multi-byte character sets, such as Han and Kanji. AC Plus provides support of the new character sets at the software's server level as well as within data models, interface and formula engines, and application programming interfaces (APIs).

Designed to be flexible and tailored to specific data management needs globally, AC Plus Desktop is a front-end application that helps to ensure data is accurate, complete, consistent, and rapidly made available to downstream portfolio management, trading, compliance, risk, and other financial management applications. AC Plus Desktop supports different languages and regional differences in labels, menus and other visual elements to help firms conduct business globally while increasing efficiencies at the local level.

Phil Lynch, Asset Control's president and chief executive officer, said, "Rather than requiring customers to operate in non-native languages, Asset Control understands the importance of helping customers meet their enterprise data management needs while enhancing efficiency in their local operations. Providing localized support for customers in Asia is a major step in Asset Control's investment to effectively serve financial institutions in the region and offer greater value, as firms expand their businesses and become more globally invested."

AC Plus provides global financial services companies with a solution to control the tremendous volume of data flowing through their organizations. Its comprehensive data integration, enrichment and cleansing capabilities provide high quality, consistent reference and pricing data for cross-asset strategies, compliance, regulatory reporting and risk.
