Technology

As the nation's largest independent information processor for the mutual fund industry, DST is continually on the cutting edge of technology. The result is ongoing innovations in product development and refinement that help serve our clients' needs.

We use a best-of-breed approach in selecting platforms for our client/server applications. Our approach is to design software that is easily modified. Because our clients' requirements are so varied, our software offerings must be easy and inexpensive to enhance and customize. Additionally, our software must operate and inter-operate with a range of operating systems and language development environments.

DST is actively involved in electronic commerce. DST's Internet solutions support millions of online transactions. FAN®, DST's electronic conduit, allows mutual fund companies, shareholders, broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries to access information via Web browsers.
