Varden was founded in 1999 on the principal that financial software projects can be completed faster and more effectively by people who understand both the technical and business side of a project.  We provide functional and technical expertise in the following investment management disciplines:

Trading / Order Management Portfolio / Private Equity Accounting Performance Measurement and   Attribution

ECN Connectivity / Integration Compliance Front Office / Decision Support Market Data Integration

The Varden team consists of individuals with proven technology skills and a strong knowledge base in financial services.  We recruit individuals who have hands-on experience dealing with the software applications and technologies on which you are working.  Our team consists of designers, developers and implementation consultants who have built and integrated many of the applications that run in your current and future production environment.

Regardless of whether you are working with an outside vendor or are building an application internally, a project fails largely due to ineffective communication between those who understand the business and those who ultimately develop an application.  Software developers and integrators who understand the business problem are far more likely to anticipate problems before expensive and time-consuming development takes place.

We solve problems using common sense and practical solutions and believe in keeping implementation and development projects as simple and maintainable as possible. Our goal on every project is to provide an uncommon level of service, turnaround-time, and responsiveness to our clients.  We accomplish our goal by adhering to the following key principles:

	Bringing energy, creativity, and a positive attitude to the project on a daily basis.
	Understanding the problem and getting it right the first time.
	Choosing the correct tools and design to fit the goals of each project.
	Work equally effective as a stand-alone team or in collaboration
	with a larger project group.

We look forward to working with you.

Perry Harris
