Description

On the podcast, Anthony and James examine the M&A space, specifically as it pertains to acquisition-hungry SS&C and its aborted bid for Fidessa. They also hit on all the features that have gone live in the last week and then have a discussion about data privacy and how much people are willing to give away. 0:00-4:30 Housekeeping notes and how to apply for this year’s Waters Rankings. 4:30 SS&C chief executive Bill Stone says the tech giant is still interested in making deals even after it declined to bid for Fidessa. But first, what’s going on with the Fidessa-Temenos-Ion saga now? 9:00 SS&C has cash to spend—will it spend it, should an attractive target present itself? 12:30 What can DST expect from being part of the SS&C family? 14:15 Some reckless speculation as to which company SS&C might look to gobble up next. 20:45 A look at the features that have gone live in the past week.
