Ryan Beck & Co, a New Jersey-based financial services firm, is using Ascential DataStage, a key component of the Ascential Enterprise Integration Suite, to obtain a single, comprehensive view of its organisational data. This has enabled the company to provide multiple, up-to-date reports to more than 500 financial consultants.
Ryan Beck has offices in 35 US states and offers a significant array of services to individual, corporate and institutional investors - including managed portfolios of mutual funds, mortgages, long-term healthcare insurance, as well as mergers and acquisitions.
"As Ryan Beck works to achieve the objectives established by our executive team - to diversify and expand our revenue base, grow in profitability and scope as a financial services company, establish new businesses and expand successful business units - it is critical that we are able to provide our financial consultants with the up-to-date, accurate information they need to be successful," says Michael Soukovich, VP of data warehouse architecture and services for Ryan Beck. "DataStage is an integral component of the IT foundation required to reach our corporate goals."
Ryan Beck is using DataStage to build and maintain an enterprise data warehouse. DataStage supports the collection, integration and transformation of data from virtually any source or business process, regardless of data volumes or latency.

DataStage can manage data arriving in real-time as well as bulk data received on a periodic or scheduled basis.
"An effective enterprise data warehouse is vital to growth and to the efficient and effective operation of daily business," says Julian Field, MD of local Ascential distributor CenterField Software. "Ryan Beck`s aggressive goals and commitment to client service demand the kind of enterprise data integration that Ascential can deliver."
