Eagle introduced IFRS support in its V10.0 software version which was released in 2009.
Eagle claims that its data management platform will provide Desjardins Asset Management a foundation for future integration of its other applications and business needs.
Desjardins Asset Management COO Gregory Chrispin said Eagle’s innovative technology and continued investment in research and development are reasons they selected Eagle. A significant aspect of this decision was based on their collaboration with Eagle to support its build out of IFRS.
"Our previous technology was not current with IFRS or the instrument coverage necessary to grow our business, so it was important for Desjardins Asset Management to move onto a new data management platform and investment accounting solution," Chrispin said.
