BOSTON, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Assette, the leading provider of on-demand client reporting solutions for asset management firms, today announced the release of Assette Presentations(TM), its latest product that improves client service, marketing, and sales productivity for institutional and private client asset managers.

Assette, a software firm that focuses on solving the client reporting challenges of asset management firms, has implemented Assette Presentations at two major firms -- Boston Private Bank and Trust Company and SEI, and is now rolling out the system nationally, said Assette CEO, Thusith Mahanama.

"Assette Presentations represents a major advance over the prior labor- intensive process of preparing presentations for clients and prospects," Mahanama said. "The old way of creating these presentations was inefficient, error-prone, manual, and lacked scalability".

Assette Presentations automates the creation of customized sales and client meeting presentations for asset management companies. As a result of the significant efficiency improvements, marketing and client service executives can reallocate their time and resources to developing new business and proactively servicing their clients. By helping asset management firms place full emphasis on the accumulation and retention of client assets, Assette Presentations generates an almost immediate positive return on their investment.

The new system features a data warehouse that extracts and aggregates client portfolio data from stand-alone investment systems like portfolio accounting, performance, attribution, and portfolio analytic applications. The Microsoft PowerPoint presentation templates built during implementation can then be easily modified using a menu of report objects such as tables, graphs, and charts. Assette's software enables users to populate these presentation templates in just minutes with customized client portfolio data from the data warehouse with just a few mouse clicks. Assette Presentations is a fully hosted application requiring no hardware/software installation or maintenance.
