Ashburton, a growing active investment manager located in Jersey, selected Kurtosys following an extensive market review. The successful implementation of Kurtosys Web is the first phase of a strategic relationship designed to enhance Ashburton's client communications platform. Future projects under consideration include fund reporting and analytical web tools, the delivery of a secure portal for customer content, data and documents and mobile applications. Ashburton chose Kurtosys for its unique combination of tactical and strategic solutions, with Kurtosys' ability to separate business function and data management proving to be a key advantage.

At a strategic level, Kurtosys Web will enhance Ashburton's client communications, using the latest digital technology to transform the way in which financial information is displayed and consumed. Tactically, Kurtosys' data management toolkit, Kurtosys EDM, will allow common data to be shared across all of the platform's business solutions, significantly reducing data duplication to yield increased efficiency.

Peter Bourne, Managing Director at Ashburton said, "The roll out of our new web content management solution is the first in a number of initiatives we will be undertaking going forward to improve our client communications throughout the group. We are delighted to have found a strategic partner in Kurtosys who will provide us with the tools and expertise to achieve this".

Simon Rose, Head of Sales and Marketing added, "Ashburton represent a growing number of asset managers who are looking holistically at their client communications needs prior to going to market. FundNets is just the first in a series of initiatives which will deliver enhanced customer engagement whilst improving business efficiency. We look forward to meeting Ashburton's strategic needs."
