Standard Integration Options
Fundriver handles integrations with most other systems (General Ledger, Donor Relations, etc.) by building custom imports and exports.
1.) Exports: Custom exports are created for clients that have data in Fundriver that they would like extracted to upload directly into another system (general ledger is the most common). The most common exports Fundriver builds are for Distribution activity, Investment Allocations by GLID, Administrative Fees, and Investment Manager activity (if using our Investment Portfolio Module). The client will generate the exports in the Fundriver software, save the file to their own server, and upload the file directly into their software manually.
Automated Integration Options
1.) Single Sign On (SSO): Access to Fundriver can be granted via SSO. Our SSO is SAML 2 compliant and we are a member of the InCommon network. Single Sign On is set up by working with an institution’s IT department so that Fundriver users can log on to Fundriver through other institutional systems.
2.) Northern Trust: Fundriver has a partnership with Northern Trust, a financial services company. Fundriver clients that have a relationship with Northern Trust can use a built-in utility to import investment data (either at the Investment Pool or Asset Manager level) from Northern Trust using a secure FTP site. Please contact Northern Trust for additional information. If the Northern Trust integration has already been set up for your Fundriver database, then please see How do I Import Northern Trust Data for additional guidance.
3.) FTP Automation: Automates the transferring of import files from a client's server into Fundriver Balance and the transferring of export files from Fundriver Balance to a client's server.
Future Integrations
Fundriver encourages product improvement suggestions from our clients! We use this feedback to continuously develop the software. We are developing additional integration tools and will update this article when they are available.
