3 September 2019 / Press release

The mutual fund distributor, MFEX, has chosen Iver as the operating services provider for its business-critical IT systems. The agreement, which has an estimated value of around SEK 22 million, will initially run for three years.

MFEX, which operates under stringent security and regulatory compliance requirements, has chosen Iver as its new IT operating services provider. Iver’s packaged solution includes not only applications operations, and the associated systems and infrastructure, but also automated test environments, containers, and complex database solutions. MFEX – an independent expert in global fund distribution, rebate collection, and fund information provision used by banks and other fund distributors for straightforward and cost-effective global trading in mutual funds – needed a partner capable of supporting the company’s continued growth through IT operations and transformation services. 

“We’re growing very quickly and need a partner who can maintain a high tempo on multiple parallel projects without losing focus on availability and security,” says Daniel Nordstrand, Head of Infrastructure and Support, at MFEX.

We are focused on winning additional market shares in this segment, and thanks to customers such as MFEX, our expertise and industry know-how will continue to grow.
