‘Advent is a proven leader in the marketplace and we are excited to be working with them to provide their clients with custom software services,’ says Softagon senior vice-president Todd Wade.

‘We look forward to building on our firm’s relationship with Advent, our understanding of technology platforms of major industry service providers, and the unique needs of our clients to ensure the greatest return on investment in Advent solutions.’
