Advent Software, Inc. has significantly increased its number of project management and consulting team members over the past 12 months, reflecting a growing demand for technology to help insulate businesses from macro-economic conditions.

Advent has more than doubled its number of certified project management and consulting team members supporting clients in Europe, the Middle East and Africa during the past year. The team now includes more than 65 qualified Advent consultants and implementation project managers who bring global perspectives, industry best practices and solution expertise to Advent clients in these regions.

Given an uncertain economic climate, many clients across EMEA are looking to technology to achieve automation and operational efficiencies.

Håkan Valberg, senior vice president and general manager, Advent Software EMEA, said: “We have been extremely focused on initiatives to grow both our resources and our knowledge base in the region. We are a committed partner to our clients in EMEA, and providing top quality implementations and consulting services is critical to bringing on new clients smoothly and developing long term relationships that support our mutual success. We are looking ahead to continue to develop capacity to serve even more to our clients.”

In addition to building its internal consulting team, Advent has extended strategic relationships with a number of leading consultancy firms across the region whose staff are Advent certified consultants and provide required quality of service to clients.
