When cio suresh Kumar talks about Pershing LLC’s NetX360 platform that just celebrated its one-year anniversary, he’s understandably excited about the 70% adoption rate among the more than 100,000 broker/dealer and RIA users of the platform, which was rolled out during the Pershing Insite conference in June 2009 (the adoption rate among Pershing’s RIA users is at 84%).
Kumar’s also thrilled about the “enterprise-class smart workflow programs,” including a checklist application that is undergoing feasibility testing now and about its ability to help many of those 100,000 users comply with the IRS’s new cost-basis reporting rule for stock, dividend, and mutual fund trading that goes into effect on January 1, 2011.
