Reflections on SunGard's 10K of March 2012

The biggest parts of SunGard are Financial Systems and Availability Services. They have a broad range of "complementary" software solutions and "associated" technology services. However, they are highly leveraged as a result of their 2005 LBO (which brought them under co-ownership of Goldman Sachs, TPG, Providence Equity Partners, Silver Lake). Basically every big tech player in the private equity space has a piece of the SunGard action!

2011 revenues from Financial Systems totalled $2.83 billion, an increase of $30 million over 2010.

As of December 31, 2011, SunGard had roughly 17,500 employees in continuing operations.

Bob's guide to commodities technology feature OpenLink's Endur platform, SunGard's Kiodex and Calypso's trading solutions. Automatic calculation of VAR seems to be a widely-touted functionality. The CEO and Founder of Calypso is ex-Bank of America, Berkeley graduate, Charles Marston. Not mentioned in Bob's Guides is TT's X-Trader, which appears to have well-built execution functionality.
