Framework becomes daappa, the data, accounting, and administration platform for private assets

LUXEMBOURG, 17-Jan-2021 — /EPR FINANCIAL NEWS/ — Global fintech, Framework PEIDM, has announced a new name and brand identity – alongside a new product release – as the final phase of its multi-year digital transformation.

Building on a long pedigree, Framework has rebranded to daappa, as the firm looks to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving private asset market.

The company was acquired by Bertil Rouveure (its chairman) in 2016, following its initial sale as Accounting Frameworks to 3i Infotech in 2008. Since then, daappa has been on a journey of rejuvenation and evolution, culminating in a new management team, the opening of an office in Luxembourg, an upgrade of its core platform, the launch of new products, and new service capabilities including daappa cloud – a managed cloud and data service delivery model.

The rapid pace of change in the private asset market has underpinned the evolution of daappa.

The ‘retailisation’ or democratisation of an asset class long the preserve of very wealthy and sophisticated investors, means the industry is facing demands to become more transparent and socially responsible – against a backdrop of downward fee pressure and more stringent regulatory oversight.

Augmenting daappa’s core accounting, administration and reporting capabilities, is the launch of two new products – daappa Studio and daappa Studio+, which meet these industry challenges head on, with new value-added applications including mandate and ESG Compliance, complex investment structure Look Through, investment and operational data Analytics, a reporting, data and document Portal, and DataHub that addresses a long-held goal of many firms by creating a single source of truth for aggregated internal and external data.

Alongside this wider repositioning, daappa has undergone a cultural reboot. As a global firm, the new management team has been mindful of workers’ local traditions and customs, as well as the firm’s impact on the environment, with the launch of a new CSR initiative, mission statement and company values statement.

Bertil Rouveure, daappa Chairman, said: “Engagement with our clients and the wider industry means we know there is a clear need for the private market industry to be more open and collaborative”.

“Our team has worked diligently over the last 18 months to establish the daappa ecosystem, providing our clients with a flexible and scalable technology platform and a proactive partnership approach to client servicing.”

Karim Ali, daappa CEO said: “The initial feedback on the rebrand from our clients, prospects and consultants has been overwhelmingly positive”.

“While in the process of revamping and expanding our platform and services, we concluded the time was right to update our core values, mission, and objectives.”

“Our clients, and indeed the industry, are demanding a better user experience, transparency, interoperability and flexibility – this has been our focus”.

Syniti’s CEO TO CEO Podcast to feature in-depth, conversational interviews with leading CEOs

BOSTON, MA, U.S.A., 18-Sep-2020 — /EPR FINANCIAL NEWS/ — Syniti, a leader in enterprise data management, announced today the launch of a global weekly podcast series, the “CEO TO CEO Podcast.” This new podcast focuses on delivering exclusive insights for complex, C-suite challenges, including mergers, acquisitions and divestitures (MA&D). The series will feature interviews with some of the world’s top CEOs and thought leaders, many of whom led history-making transactions.

The podcast will launch Wednesday, September 23, 2020, featuring in-depth, conversational interviews with leaders like:

  • Joe Tucci, former Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMC Corporation, now Dell EMC, and Chairman and Co-Founder of Bridge Growth Partners
  • Paula Tolliver, former Corporate Vice President and CIO and CDO of Intel Corporation and former Corporate Vice President of Business Services and CIO at the Dow Chemical Company, and
  • Josh Moffitt, Founder and President of Silverton Mortgage

“History has proven that during times of rapid changes and unknowns, such as the 2008 financial crisis, organizations look to MA&D to both protect and grow their business,” said Kevin Campbell, CEO of Syniti and host of the podcast series. “We are pleased to launch this new podcast series to help companies face these challenges with an insider’s perspective, and help business become more resilient through M&A&D.”

According to EY’s Global Capital Confidence Barometer, in today’s economic environment, more than half of executives globally are opting to transform through transactions and plan an acquisition this year. McKinsey & Company also reported that companies that regularly and systematically pursue moderately sized M&A deliver better shareholder returns than companies that don’t.

“The complexities of MA&D are daunting every time,” said Chris Knerr, Syniti Chief Data Officer. “Data is increasingly essential to delivering successful transactions. We are bringing together leaders who have successfully led global transformations to dive deeper into the power of data to accelerate time-to-value and greatly reduce execution risk. With more than 24 years of business expertise in data and end-to-end conversion technology, we’ve seen firsthand how data can increase transparency, drive business value capture, and support integration strategies that speed and smooth business transactions of all sizes.”

According to Edison Research, podcasts reach over 100 million Americans each month. “Podcasts are available where the listener is, whether at home, commuting, in-between business meetings, after dinner or with early morning coffee,” said Rex Ahlstrom, Syniti Chief Strategy & Technology Officer. “By leveraging this medium, we can further help business leaders access critical insights from top M&A&D practitioners wherever they are – at home, in the office, or on-the-go.”
