Financial Services Vendors

Mention of a couple more vendors in Asia:

A HK-based vendor has been advertising for new project staff recently. EAB Systems (HK) Limited was called EastPro until they changed name in 2007 following investments from Tokio Marine.

EAB Systems is building and distributing iLife, iWealth, iGeneral, which are based on a J2EE architecture.

Second one is Figlo Systems in Singapore, which is selling tools focussed primarily on the professional advisor channel. Includes both business-to-business and business-to-consumer tools.
