"We have worked very closely with our distributors through the years, and I’m confident that we have an extremely capable team representing Advent in Europe. Over the last nine months alone we’ve added marquis customers in Europe, and we see this as an increasingly important market for us going forward," said Stephanie DiMarco, chief executive officer of Advent. "I’m thrilled to see Advent becoming an international financial software company, and I’m committed to ensuring success in our European operations, and among our European client base."
Advent Europe was established in 1999 as an independent distributor and support organization, and has clients across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In addition to providing local sales and support, Advent implements its solutions according to the various local requirements in these regions.
