Over the past 20 years, we have continuously invested to evolve our analytics solutions through innovation, acquisition and strategic relationships. The combination of BISAM and FactSet allows us to better serve critical workflows throughout the portfolio lifecycle and fulfill our clients’ need for more consistent performance and risk data.”
