The company has its headquarters in San Francisco and offices in central London, New York and Hong Kong, and is now looking to expand in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and across the Middle East.
With clients and offices on four continents, Advent claims to be among the leading suppliers of investment management software solutions worldwide and describes its move to a Dubai office as a milestone for its operations.
Demand for Advent’s services in the region has led to a growing workforce, which is now to be relocated to office space operated by the Dubai International Financial Centre, an organisation with which the company has been involved for the past five years.
“The Middle East is a very important market for Advent,” explained the company’s senior vice president and general manager for the region, Hakan Valberg.
“The opening of the new office is a milestone for us, as it demonstrates our expanding commitment to the Middle East and further strengthens Advent’s position as a leading global software and services provider.”
Having a strong local presence is seen as crucial to helping the investment software firm develop stronger ties with businesses across several Middle Eastern countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar and Bahrain.
Last month, the IT services and solutions company L&T Infotech made clear its intention to move to an area of office space at the Dubai Outsource Zone, which is designed to accommodate the needs of large multinational organisations within that particular industry.
Editor’s notes: In May 2023, the company was based at Gate Village in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
However, in 2015, Advent Software was acquired by SS&C Technologies for $2.7 billion and was rebranded as SS&C Advent.
In 2022, the company employed approximately 1,200 people, and it generated net cash from operating activities of $1.134 billion.
In June 2026, SS&C Advent’s Dubai office was still listed as 412 Level 4. Gate Village 10, DIFC Dubai, 506643 on its website. It also listed another Dubai office address: The One Tower, Floor 24, Office 20, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai.
At the time, SS&C Advent remained a leading provider of investment management software, including Geneva, Advent Portfolio Exchange (APX), and Eze.
