ConceptONE is pleased to announce that its recently completed full integration of Asset Control, a provider of financial data management solutions and services, will be instrumental in its efforts to enhance the firm's Opera reporting service and its Regulatory Reporting solutions.
The extraordinary standard of care surrounding regulatory reporting is paramount and the solution provided by ConceptONE is further strengthened by having Asset Control's world class software as a core component.
