Read MoreHide Full Article

Shares of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (BR - Free Report) have gained 15.6% so far this year, outperforming 8.6% increase recorded by the industry it belongs to and 2.2% growth recorded by the Zacks S&P 500 Composite Index.

 

 

The company recently entered a partnership with Tableau Software, aimed at offering enhanced analytics and visualization capabilities to its investment management clients.

Tableau Software is a software company based in the United States, which produces interactive data visualization products focused on business intelligence.

The Partnership

The collaboration will see integration of Broadridge Investment Management Data Warehouse with Tableau's visual analytics platform.

Broadridge's clients will gain access to machine-learning-based smart data recommendations and natural language processing. Clients will also be able to explore trading and portfolio data, showcase their findings through visual analytics, and authorize more people with data-driven results.

Eric Bernstein, the head of Broadridge's asset management solutions stated, "Tableau's visual analytics platform, combined with our best-in-suite software, will provide insights and analytics into trading, portfolio and operations data at the speed of thought."

Our Take

The partnership is likely to help Broadridge strengthen its Asset Management Solutions business, which provides buy-side technology solutions for the global investment management industry, and is part of the Global Technology and Operations segment.

This implies that Broadridge’s Global Technology and Operations segment is likely to benefit from the deal. Performance of the segment was strong in the last reported quarter, with revenues improving 6% year over year. The segment contributed around 23.4% to Broadridge’s total revenues in first-quarter fiscal 2019.
