Description

May 25, 2010, Denver, CO – FUSE Research Network is widely recognized as a leader in competitive market research for the financial services industry; SySys Corporation is financial service industry’s preferred web and print technology partner. That’s why it made perfect sense for the two firms to collaborate in the creation of FUSE’s new client-dedicated research portal. Says FUSE Founder Neil Bathon, “We tell each client that FUSE is committed to providing research-based recommendations that are tailored specifically to their needs. In order to deliver on that promise for our research portal, we knew we needed sophisticated technology capable of delivering individualized reports. In our view, SySys was the only firm that could meet our exacting specifications.” In today’s environment, the ability to merely aggregate market information from numerous sources is a commodity. FUSE differentiates itself by evaluating the information available and interpreting it for clients. As Bathon says, “The point is not just to collect information, but to put information in a context that supports each client’s decision-making processes.” To achieve that goal, SySys built an easy-to-use front end that enables the user to input custom search parameters. For example, a marketing director can quickly call up a detailed report on investment firms that are changing names or promoting a new brand identity. Sales professionals can keep close tabs on the activities of specific competitors. And all users can choose to receive updates at any time interval that suits them—whether it’s daily, annually or specific dates. As SySys’ Chief Technology Officer Ben Hobgood notes, “The possibilities are virtually endless. The filtering criteria allow users to select a broad range of research materials. You can search the entire universe of investment products, a specific fund or competitors.” The system queries the database, which stores information in both pdf and html formats. The beauty of the reports is that FUSE researchers have added remarks that range from a short executive summary to detailed issue analysis. Links embedded in the report immediately take the user to the full original document. From the perspective of SySys CEO and President, Andrew Christensen, working on the FUSE Research Portal was an ideal project, because it allowed his team to “flex their muscles and show what we could do.” As Christensen explains, “People in the mutual fund industry are familiar with our FundSys™ technology as a robust data and content management platform. They know that we can do daily pricing and automate monthly or quarterly fund reports. But the reports we’re producing for FUSE Research Network are much more sophisticated. They’re at an entirely different level of technical complexity and FundSys is perfectly suited for that complexity requirement. No sweat.” Samuel Campbell agrees. As Director of Research at FUSE, he is responsible for the development and delivery of the firm’s Market Intelligence Platform service offering. Says Campbell, “FUSE is known for the quality of our custom research, which we build in the traditional way for individual clients.
