The new release contains platform and integration enhancements for Advent's Geneva, Advent Portfolio Exchange (APX), Moxy, Advent Rules Manager, and Advent Revenue Center.

Building upon a history of incorporating "client-sourced" feedback and requests into products, Advent Direct Community is helping to make the process more transparent. Live since November 2013, Advent Direct Community is a collaborative online client experience where Advent clients can share their ideas and suggestions for improving Advent's solutions. Community members can show their support for crowd-sourced ideas by giving "kudos" to posts they agree with and see what their peers "kudo" by monitoring fellow members' votes; one of the highest rated enhancement requests has been incorporated into the latest APX update.

The new releases of Advent's products deliver a number of key client benefits, including:
