I successfully implemented Advent Geneva in 4 months with an existing team.   I was brought on board with Vermillion to implement Advent Geneva in August of 2008.  I successfully went live on January 2009.  It was integrated with drop copies of electronic trades and the existing reconciliation system. It fed our risk system for reporting and became the center hub for validating and capturing all of our trades, customized reporting and verifying our NAV with the fund administrator.

I successfully implemented a reconciliation system for Dreman Value Management.  The process  that existed was very manual.  I'm implemented a out of the box software that reconciled to our banks next day. It brought our reconciliation time down by 95% and allowed closing times to be reduced on average by 15 days.

I successfully built out a separate physical database to track all of our physical positions. When our commodity fund elected to get stopped on futures, we needed to know where our actual material was located, accrue for storage,  fineness, weight, as well as  as valuation,  This helped our PM's hedge properly against the actual weight, elect to release the specified receipts, and assist with risk reporting (as we could quickly track physical locations for any geo-political activities).
