international financial data services canada (ifds)

International Financial Data Services (IFDS) was a world-leading provider of outsourcing and technology solutions to the financial services industry, with its Canadian division being a joint venture between State Street Corporation and DST Systems. The company specialized in transfer agency, record keeping, and business process outsourcing for asset managers, insurance companies, and other financial institutions. In 2018, SS&C Technologies acquired DST Systems, thereby taking full ownership and integrating IFDS's operations into its own global offerings under the SS&C brand. Today, the former IFDS entity operates as SS&C Canada, continuing to provide mission-critical investor and client record-keeping and servicing solutions.
