Imagine Software wins another award for Derivatives.Com and exhibits At GAIM Asia

Hong Kong (BUSINESS WIRE) - Imagine Software, a leading provider of on-demand trading, portfolio, and risk management solutions, is exhibiting its integrated, real-time portfolio and risk management system, the ASP-based Derivatives.com system, at the GAIM Asia trade show at the JW Marriott in Hong Kong, March 31 to April 1.

This month the company added to its collection of industry awards in 2007 from Risk Magazine, Asia Risk, Buy-Side Technology, and Alpha Magazine with its first award in 2008, "Best Risk Management Supplier," from The Hedge Fund Journal.
Publisher Rod Sparks presented the award at a black-tie dinner earlier this month held at the London Natural History Museum.

"Imagine Software won this award because of its focus on its core areas of expertise, and its longevity in this market," said Rod Sparks. "Part of its appeal to our readers has been its versatility, its ability to cover a wide range of asset classes, and the fact that it has been able to deliver that level of sophisticated technology onto a desktop. But on top of that, it succeeds on the strength of its emphasis on real-time deliverables. This stems from a recognition that many hedge funds are having to make split-second decisions about their portfolios, and need to see their critical data in a highly customised interface. This is not easy to do, but Imagine seems to achieve it, and to do it in a manner that is cost-effective."

Yvonne Dahl, Director of ASP Sales & Marketing for Imagine, commented on the award and GAIM Asia. "We're honored for the recognition by The Hedge Fund Journal, and we're very excited at the opportunity to provide live, hands-on demonstrations of why we won the award to attendees of this year's GAIM Asia event. Our CEO, Dr. Lance Smith will be present to help explain the finer points of Imagine's real-time benefits and functionality."About Imagine Software Imagine Software is a leading provider of on-demand investment management solutions for the global financial industry.
