Vantage Introduces Vantage Insight(TM) To Centralize, Manage and Analyze
Investment Data and Performance

Vantage Insight(TM) gives private investment firms and investors instant
online access to data for analyzing investment performance activities in a
consistent, professional, user-friendly format

BOSTON, April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Vantage Software, the only vendor that
provides modular software that easily extends the existing systems private
investment firms have in place, today introduced Vantage Insight(TM), a
web-based data dashboard that consolidates data across a firm's varied
sources, making it more easily accessible to internal and external
stakeholders. Vantage Insight(TM) provides visibility into a firm's investment
activities from a high-level, spanning multiple funds and strategies, down to
the detail of individual portfolio companies and their operating performance.

"Vantage Insight aggregates and presents data in a consistent, polished and
professional format, enabling firms to unlock the full value of data across
disparate data sources," said Vantage CEO Greg Woolf. "But it doesn't just
provide access to data. It enriches data from underlying databases,
transforming it into actionable information and organizing it in whatever
format the firm requires."

Investors, deal teams and operations personnel benefit from a consistent,
enterprise view of data. However, users can also drill down at whatever level
of granularity they require, such as comparing operating results to
benchmarks, or evaluating individual funds or companies by strategy, industry,
sector, currency or other investments in the same class. Users can organize
and analyze data by funds, portfolios, holdings, assets or companies at any
time, instead of waiting for quarterly reports.

Vantage Insight(TM) strengthens client relationships through improved
communication; increases investor confidence through greater transparency;
provides in-depth information for asset valuations; helps analyze investment
holdings to support decision making; and improves staff productivity.

Firms control user access at all levels of information or functionality.
Access privileges can be granted at a high-level aggregation of results by
line of business down to detailed portfolio company valuation and operating
results. Vantage Insight(TM) also tracks important messages, recent documents
and upcoming events, and provides an in-depth analysis of current market
values.

"Vantage Insight(TM) expedites analysis and reporting by virtue of its
intuitive user interface," Woolf added. "Yet it is user-friendly enough that
relationship managers and investors who may not frequently work with financial
software can use it without extensive training."

Built on the Microsoft .NET framework like all Vantage Software products,
Vantage Insight can integrate with and consolidate data from virtually any
in-house or third party solutions, including portfolio accounting and contact
management systems, third party administrators as well as portfolio company
data feeds for integrated operating results.
