SS&C Technologies Risks and Challenges
In October 2019, SS&C Technologies has appointed a new general manager of execution and order management systems provider Eze Software, a year after the company acquired the firm for $1.45 billion. According to a statement, Eze Software's former CEO and current general manager, Jeff Shoreman, will leave SS&C Technologies as of 15 November this year. No details were given by SS&C as to the reason behind his departure. Michael Hutner, who currently leads global sales for Eze has been chosen to succeed Shoreman and lead Eze as its new general manager, reporting to senior vice president at SS&C, Robert Roley.
SS&C acquired Advent, another major financial services apps vendor, enabling the merged company to have a wide swath of banking, investment and financial institutions as customers. The migration to a converged product strategy will take time and certain risks because of potential platform integration issues. Similarly, SS&C's migration to the Cloud could take some time given its roots in client-server computing. Integrating its different acquisitions will also take up much of its energy perhaps at the expense of articulating its Cloud strategy in the long run.

In May 2020, SS&C ALPS has partnered with FLX Distribution to provide expanded distribution capabilities to asset managers. Asset managers can access all of the job functions across a comprehensive distribution organization, reaching more than 300,000 financial advisors and 13,000 RIAs.
