Geneva(R)'s Workflow Manager Accelerates Quintillion's Growth

SAN FRANCISCO, CA and LONDON, May 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Advent Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADVS), a leading provider of software and
solutions for the global investment management industry, today announced that
Quintillion Ltd. has been enjoying the benefits of Geneva(R), Advent's
award-winning portfolio management and fund accounting solution. Launched in
late
2006, Quintillion is a hedge fund administrator based in Dublin, Ireland with
$4.5
billion in assets under administration.

Quintillion was looking for a technology platform that would automate the
accounting process, scale with its growing business and have the name
recognition to inspire confidence in potential clients. When the doors opened
in 2006, Quintillion implemented Geneva(R), with which the firm's members and
its prospective clients were highly experienced and familiar. In addition,
Quintillion took advantage of Workflow Manager, Geneva(R)'s built-in enterprise
application integration toolkit.

Workflow Manager enables firms to integrate Geneva(R) quickly and easily
with
other applications, thereby increasing the level of automation and
efficiency. This increased connectivity with clients and counterparties reduces
manual
intervention and the risk of errors, and effectively eliminates manual
workarounds
and offline processing. Workflow Manager also provides the flexibility that is
needed to develop customized reporting output and data extracts. For
Quintillion,
Workflow Manager has allowed the firm to easily develop connectivity with its
internal systems, external data sources and clients.

"Using Geneva(R)''s Workflow Manager contributes to our overall
operationalefficiency and definitely helps us achieve lower operational costs,"
said
Charles Gillanders, Chief Information Officer, Quintillion Ltd. "The
combination has been critical to us achieving our goals, while maintaining the
moderate staffing we currently have in place. Workflow Manager has been
essential to us in being able to offer our services in an automated fashion."

Added Gillanders, "It helps immensely that Geneva(R) enjoys a leadership
reputation
among hedge fund managers. It is a definite win for us to be able to say
that we use Geneva(R) and have a staff that knows the software inside and out."
