SEI, Hyland Team Up on SMA Platform

Asset management firm SEI Investments has hired Hyland Software of to power its separately managed account platform.

Hyland’s OnBase4 integrated document management software will enable SEI to offer virtual, straight-through processing to its middle and back office so that clients can focus more readily on core investment management and value-added activities.

"By choosing Hyland’s OnBase software, SEI will transform the typical paper-burdened SMA processes into a strategic management information source," said A. J. Hyland, president and chief executive of Hyland Software, in a statement. "Money managers are looking to technology to help them stem the rising operational costs of their SMA business."

Integrating OnBase into its SMA platform will provide a high-quality, cost-effective outsourcing solution, SEI said. SEI administers $235 billion in mutual fund and pooled assets, manages over $85 billion in assets, processes almost $50 trillion of investment transactions annually and operates 21 offices in 10 countries.
