About SS&C

For close to 40 years, SS&C has developed the technology and services to power our clients' success. With industry-specific solutions from the alternatives space to healthcare to wealth management, SS&C is leading the way toward the future.

History

In 1986 and at the age of 30, Founder and CEO Bill Stone quit his job to start SS&C from the basement of his house. The goal was simple - develop better technology and deliver superior service. Fast forward to today, and SS&C has evolved through growth and acquisitions to become a leader in technology for the world's largest financial services and healthcare firms.

SS&C is committed to the success of our clients, employees, and shareholders. As a leading financial services and healthcare technology company, SS&C continues to push innovation, be stewards in the communities we serve and operate with integrity.
