Goldman Sachs is set to implement SunGard Investment Systems' portfolio management and fund accounting system, INVEST ONE, in London, Singapore and possibly Tokyo, said an official familiar with the bank's plans. The decision follows Goldman's global review of its incumbent systems, including Thomson Investment Software's Portia and DST International's HiPortfolio (OM, 8/25). The firm wanted to standardize its mix of international systems and integrate the back office of its subsidiary, CIN Management, into its own operations, according to industry officials. Goldman will transfer most of its funds from Portia and HiPortfolio to INVEST ONE by December. The official declined to comment on the cost of the new system. Officials at Goldman and SunGard declined to comment. A spokeswoman at DST said Goldman had not informed the vendor of any changes. Martin Barlow, general manager at Thomson, declined to comment.
