	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, collectability of accounts receivable, costs to complete certain contracts, valuation of acquired assets and liabilities, valuation of stock options, income tax accruals and the value of deferred tax assets. Estimates are also used to determine the remaining economic lives and carrying value of fixed assets, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation. Unconsolidated investments in entities over which the Company does not have control but has the ability to exercise influence over operating and financial policies, if any, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Earnings and losses from such investments are recorded on a pre-tax basis.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company’s payment terms for software licenses typically require that the total fee be paid upon signing of the contract. Maintenance services are typically due in full at the beginning of the maintenance period. Professional services and software-enabled services are typically due and payable monthly in arrears. Normally, the Company’s arrangements do not provide for any refund rights, and payments are not contingent on specific milestones or customer acceptance conditions. For arrangements that do contain such provisions, the Company defers revenue until the rights or conditions have expired or have been met.
	Unbilled accounts receivable primarily relates to professional services and software-enabled services revenue that has been earned as of month end but is not invoiced until the subsequent month, and to software license revenue that has been earned and is realizable but not invoiced to clients until future dates specified in the client contract.
	Deferred revenue consists of payments received related to product delivery, maintenance and other services, which have been paid by customers prior to the recognition of revenue. Deferred revenue relates primarily to cash received for maintenance contracts in advance of services being performed over the contractual term.
	Software-enabled Services
	The Company’s software-enabled services arrangements make its software applications available to its clients for processing of transactions. The software-enabled services arrangements provide an alternative for clients who do not wish to install, run and maintain complicated financial software. Under the arrangements, the client does not have the right to take possession of the software, rather, the Company agrees to provide access to its applications, remote use of its equipment to process transactions, access to client’s data stored on its equipment, and connectivity between its environment and the client’s computing systems. Software-enabled services are generally provided under non-cancelable contracts with initial terms of one to five years that require monthly or quarterly payments, and are subject to automatic annual renewal at the end of the initial term unless terminated by either party.
	The Company recognizes software-enabled services revenues on a monthly basis as the software-enabled services are provided and when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company does not recognize any revenue before services are performed. Certain contracts contain additional fees for increases in market value, pricing and trading activity. Revenues related to these additional fees are recognized in the month in which the activity occurs based upon the Company’s summarization of account information and trading volume.
	License Revenue
	The Company follows the principles of accounting standards relating to software revenue recognition, which provide guidance on applying GAAP in recognizing revenue on software transactions. Accounting standards require that revenue recognized from software transactions be allocated to each element of the transaction based on the relative fair values of the elements, such as software products, specified upgrades, enhancements, post-contract client support, installation or training. The determination of fair value is based upon vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). The Company recognizes software license revenues allocated to software products and enhancements generally upon delivery of each of the related products or enhancements, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met. In the rare occasion that a software license agreement includes the right to a specified upgrade or product, the Company defers all revenues under the arrangement until the specified upgrade or product is delivered, since typically VSOE does not exist to support the fair value of the specified upgrade or product.
	The Company generally recognizes revenue from sales of software or products including proprietary software upon product shipment and receipt of a signed contract, provided that collection is probable and all other revenue recognition criteria are met. The Company sells perpetual software licenses in conjunction with professional services for installation and maintenance. For these arrangements, the total contract value is attributed first to the maintenance arrangement based on its fair value, which is derived from stated renewal rates. The contract value is then attributed to professional services based on estimated fair value, which is derived from the rates charged for similar services provided on a stand-alone basis. The Company’s software license agreements generally do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, and, accordingly, implementation services provided by the Company are not considered essential to the functionality of the software. The remainder of the total contract value is then attributed to the software license based on the residual method.
	The Company also sells term licenses ranging from one to seven years, some of which include bundled maintenance services. For those arrangements with bundled maintenance services, VSOE does not exist for the maintenance element and therefore the total fee is recognized ratably over the contractual term of the arrangement. The Company classifies revenues from bundled term license arrangements as both software licenses and maintenance revenues by allocating a portion of the revenues from the arrangement to maintenance revenues and classifying the remainder in software licenses revenues. The Company uses its renewal rates for maintenance under perpetual license agreements for the purpose of determining the portion of the arrangement fee that is classified as maintenance revenues.
	The Company occasionally enters into license agreements requiring significant customization of the Company’s software. The Company accounts for the license fees under these agreements on the percentage-of-completion basis. This method requires estimates to be made for costs to complete the agreement utilizing an estimate of development man-hours remaining. Revenue is recognized each period based on the hours incurred to date compared to the total hours expected to complete the project. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least reasonably possible that completion costs may be revised. Such revisions are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are determined on a contract-by-contract basis, and are made in the period in which such losses are first estimated or determined.
	Maintenance Agreements
	Maintenance agreements generally require the Company to provide technical support and software updates (on a when-and-if-available basis) to its clients. Such services are generally provided under one-year renewable contracts. Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement.
	Professional Services
	The Company provides consulting and training services to its clients. Revenues for such services are generally recognized over the period during which the services are performed. The Company typically charges for professional services on a time-and-materials basis. However, some contracts are for a fixed fee. For the fixed-fee arrangements, an estimate is made of the total hours expected to be incurred to complete the project. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least reasonably possible that completion costs may be revised. Such revisions are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Revenues are recognized each period based on the hours incurred to date compared to the total hours expected to complete the project.
	Research and Development
	Research and development costs associated with computer software are charged to expense as incurred. Capitalization of internally developed computer software costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility based on a working model. Net capitalized software costs of $3.5 million and $2.4 million are included in the December 31, 2013 and 2012 balance sheets, respectively, under “Intangible and other assets”.
	The Company’s policy is to amortize these costs upon a product’s general release to the client. Amortization of capitalized software costs is calculated by the greater of (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, including the period being reported on, typically two to five years. It is reasonably possible that those estimates of anticipated future gross revenues, the remaining estimated economic life of the product, or both could be reduced significantly due to competitive pressures. Amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs was $1.0 million, $0.5 million, and $0.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
	Stock-based Compensation
	Using the fair value recognition provisions of relevant accounting literature, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the appropriate service period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards requires considerable judgment, including estimating the expected term of stock options, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, and the number of awards expected to be forfeited. Differences between actual results and these estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. A deferred income tax asset is recorded over the vesting period as stock compensation expense is recorded for non-qualified option awards. The realizability of the deferred tax asset is ultimately based on the actual value of the stock-based award upon exercise. If the actual value is lower than the fair value determined on the date of grant, then there could be an income tax expense for the portion of the deferred tax asset that is not realizable.
	Other Income (Expense), Net
	Other income, net for 2013 consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains of $3.4 million. Other expense, net for 2012 consists primarily of foreign currency transaction losses of $12.4 million and a loss of $3.8 million recorded on foreign currency contracts associated with the acquisition of GlobeOp Financial Services, S.A. (“GlobeOp”), which is discussed further in Note 12. These losses were partially offset by a reduction of the Company’s remaining contingent consideration liability associated with the BenefitsXML, Inc. (“BXML”) acquisition from $0.3 million to $0. Other expense, net for 2011 consists primarily of an increase of $0.5 million in the contingent consideration liability from $1.8 million to $2.3 million, fees of $0.3 million associated with the redemption of SS&C’s 11  3⁄4 senior subordinated notes due 2013, which is discussed further in Note 6 below, and foreign currency transaction losses of $0.1 million. These costs were partially offset by a refund of facilities charges of $0.5 million.
	Income Taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the relevant accounting literature. An asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of items that are recognized in the Company’s financial statements and tax returns in different years. A valuation allowance is established against net deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.
	The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company did not hold any cash equivalents at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Restricted Cash
	Restricted cash includes monies held by a bank as security for a letter of credit issued due to lease requirements for office space. The letter of credit is expected to be renewed within the next twelve months, and as such, the restricted cash is classified as a current asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, cash movements of restricted cash is included in other investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using a combination of straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
	Description	Useful Life
	Land	—
	Buildings and improvements	40 years
	Equipment	3-5 years
	Furniture and fixtures	7-10 years
	Leasehold improvements	Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life
	Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $14.7 million, $10.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively.
	Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The costs of sold or retired assets are removed from the related asset and accumulated depreciation accounts and any gain or loss is included in other income (expense), net.
	Registration Costs
	During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company incurred a total of $0.9 million in professional fees and other costs related to its secondary offering. These costs were netted against the related offering proceeds in the accompanying financial statements. There were no such costs during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Goodwill and Intangible Assets
	The Company tests goodwill annually for impairment as of December 31st (and in interim periods if certain events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount). The Company has completed the required impairment tests for goodwill and has determined that no impairment existed as of December 31, 2013 or 2012. The first step of the impairment analysis, which is based on our reporting unit structure, indicated that the fair value significantly exceeded the carrying value at December 31, 2013. There were no other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.
	The following table summarizes changes in goodwill (in thousands):
	Balance at December 31, 2011	$	931,639
	2012 acquisitions		610,073
	Adjustments to previous acquisitions		53
	Income tax benefit on rollover options exercised		(37	)
	Effect of foreign currency translation		17,879
	Balance at December 31, 2012		1,559,607
	2013 acquisitions		910
	Adjustments to previous acquisitions		(202	)
	Income tax benefit on rollover options exercised		(3,567	)
	Effect of foreign currency translation		(15,362	)
	Balance at December 31, 2013	$	1,541,386
	Completed technology and other identifiable intangible assets are amortized over lives ranging from three to 17 years based on the ratio that current cash flows for the intangible asset bear to the total of current and expected future cash flows for the intangible asset. Amortization expense associated with completed technology and other amortizable intangible assets was $84.1 million, $64.6 million and $36.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	A summary of the components of intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):
	December 31,
	2013			2012
Customer relationships	$	599,186		$	596,396
Completed technology		122,758			123,787

Less: accumulated amortization		(336,712	)		(254,259	)
	$	424,191		$	504,429
Total estimated amortization expense, related to intangible assets, for each of the next five years, as of December 31, 2013, is expected to approximate (in thousands):
Year Ending December 31,
2014	$	83,265
2015		81,082
2016		72,149
2017		54,245
2018		48,583
	$	339,324
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made recovery of the assets’ carrying value unlikely. An impairment loss would be recognized when the sum of the expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The Company has identified no such impairment losses.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and trade receivables. The Company has cash investment policies that limit investments to investment grade securities. Concentrations of credit risk, with respect to trade receivables, are limited due to the fact that the Company’s client base is highly diversified. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no significant concentrations of credit.
International Operations and Foreign Currency
The functional currency of each foreign subsidiary is the local currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and capital stock accounts are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average rates during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are excluded from net earnings and accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included within other income (expense) in the results of operations in the periods in which they occur.
Comprehensive Income
Items defined as comprehensive income, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, are separately classified in the financial statements. The accumulated balance of other comprehensive income is reported separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Total comprehensive income consists of net income and other accumulated comprehensive income disclosed in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which amends the accounting guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but do require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about these amounts. For public companies, these amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The new guidance affects disclosures only and did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)— Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”), to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). The objective is to end some inconsistent practices with regard to the presentation on the balance sheet of unrecognized tax benefits. ASU 2013-11 is effective for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2013, wither early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this standard beginning January 1, 2014. The Company does not expect these changes to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated in accordance with the relevant standards. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options and restricted stock using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such common equivalent shares is anti-dilutive because their total assumed proceeds exceed the average fair value of common stock for the period. The Company has two classes of common stock, each with identical participation rights to earnings and liquidation preferences, and therefore the calculation of EPS as described above is identical to the calculation under the two-class method.
The following table sets forth the weighted average common shares used in the computation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands):
	Year Ended December 31,
	2013			2012			2011
Weighted average common shares outstanding — used in calculation of basic EPS		81,195			78,321			76,482
Weighted average common stock equivalents — options and restricted shares		4,421			4,567			4,227
Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding — used in calculation of diluted EPS		85,616			82,888			80,709
Options to purchase 133,598, 703,446 and 272,266 shares were outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of including the options would be anti-dilutive.

	The Company has recorded valuation allowances of $5.0 million at December 31, 2013 related to certain foreign net operating loss and credit carryforwards and $5.0 million at 2012 related to net operating loss carryforwards in certain state and foreign jurisdictions.
	The Company operates under tax holidays in some foreign jurisdictions, which begin to expire in 2017. The availability of the tax holidays are subject to fulfillment of certain conditions. The impact of the tax holidays decreased foreign taxes by $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The benefit of tax holidays did not have an impact on net income per share (diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2013.

As a result of a lapse in statute, the Company derecognized $2.9 million of penalties and interest accrued in prior years. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2013 relate to domestic and foreign taxing jurisdictions and are recorded in other long-term liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013.
The Company is subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, India, Connecticut and New York. In these major jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2009, 2009, 2006, 2010, 2009 and 2009, respectively. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns are currently under audit for the tax periods ended December 31, 2009 through 2012. The Company’s Connecticut and New York state income tax returns are currently under audit for the tax periods ended December 31, 2009 through 2011.

	The carrying value of the Company’s credit facilities approximate fair value given the variable rate nature of the debt, and as such, are a Level 2 liability (as discussed in Note 8).
	Capitalized financing costs of $4.4 million, $2.6 million and $2.1 million were amortized to interest expense in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and the Company amortized to interest expense $1.4 million and $0.8 million of the original issue discount associated with the credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The unamortized balance of capitalized financing costs is included in intangible and other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, the Company had $4.4 million in losses on extinguishment of debt associated with the repayment of the prior senior credit facility in 2012 and $4.8 million in losses on extinguishment of debt associated with the redemption of the 11  3⁄4% senior subordinated notes due 2013 in 2011, as shown on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and described below.
	Credit facility. On March 14, 2012, Holdings entered into a Credit Agreement with SS&C and SS&C Technologies Holdings Europe S.A.R.L., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SS&C (“SS&C Sarl”), as the borrowers. The Credit Agreement has four tranches of term loans: (i) a $0 term A-1 facility with a five and one-half year term for borrowings by SS&C, (ii) a $325 million term A-2 facility with a five and one-half year term for borrowings by SS&C Sarl, (iii) a $725 million term B-1 facility with a seven year term for borrowings by SS&C and (iv) a $75 million term B-2 facility with a seven year term for borrowings by SS&C Sarl. In addition, the Credit Agreement had a $142 million bridge loan facility, of which $31.6 million was immediately drawn, with a 364-day term available for borrowings by SS&C Sarl and has a revolving credit facility with a five and one-half year term available for borrowings by SS&C with $100 million in commitments. The revolving credit facility contains a $25 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $20 million swingline loan sub-facility. The bridge loan was repaid in July 2012 and is no longer available for borrowing.
	The term loans and the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the election of the borrowers, at the base rate (as defined in Credit Agreement) or LIBOR, plus the applicable interest rate margin for the credit facility. The term A loans and the revolving credit facility initially bore interest at either LIBOR plus 2.75% or at the base rate plus 1.75%, and then will be subject to a step-down based on SS&C’s consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio and would be equal to 2.50% in the case of the LIBOR margin, and 1.50% in the case of the base rate margin. The term B loans initially bore interest at either LIBOR plus 4.00% or at base rate plus 3.00%, with LIBOR subject to a 1.00% floor.
	In June 2013, the Company completed a repricing of its term B-1 loans and term B-2 loans, which replaced these loans with new term B-1 loans and term B-2 loans at the same outstanding principal balance, but at a different interest rate. The applicable interest rates were reduced to either LIBOR plus 2.75% or the base rate plus 1.75%, and the LIBOR floor was reduced from 1.00% to 0.75%, subject to a step-down at any time that the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio is less than 2.75 times, to 2.50% in the case of the LIBOR margin, and 1.50% in the case of the base rate margin. The maturity date of the new loans remains June 8, 2019, and no changes were made to the financial covenants or scheduled amortization.
	The repricing of the debt was evaluated in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments, for modification and extinguishment accounting. The Company accounted for the repricing as a debt modification with respect to amounts that remained in the syndicate and a debt extinguishment with respect to the amounts that exited the syndicate.
	Holdings, SS&C and the material domestic subsidiaries of SS&C have pledged substantially all of their tangible and intangible assets as security to support the obligations of SS&C and SS&C Sarl under the Credit Agreement. In addition, SS&C Sarl has agreed, in certain circumstances, to cause subsidiaries in foreign jurisdictions to guarantee SS&C Sarl’s obligations and pledge substantially all of their assets to support the obligations of SS&C Sarl under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants and a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a specified consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants.
	In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, SS&C terminated its prior senior credit facility (“Senior Credit Facility”) and used the initial proceeds of the borrowings to repay all amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, including an aggregate principal amount of outstanding borrowings of approximately $260.0 million, and to satisfy a portion of the consideration required to fund the Company’s acquisition of GlobeOp. At the time of the termination of the Senior Credit Facility, all liens and other security interests that SS&C had granted to the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility were released.
	In connection with the entry into the Senior Credit Facility in December 2011, SS&C terminated its then existing credit agreement (“Prior Facility”) and used the proceeds from advances made under the Senior Credit Facility to repay all amounts outstanding under the Prior Facility, including an aggregate principal amount of outstanding borrowings of approximately $99.7 million. At the time of the termination of the Prior Facility, all liens and other security interests that SS&C had granted to the lenders under the Prior Facility were released.
	11  3⁄4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013. The 11  3⁄4% senior subordinated notes due 2013 were unsecured senior subordinated obligations of SS&C that were subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt of SS&C, including the Prior Facility. The senior subordinated notes were jointly and severally fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, in each case subject to certain customary release provisions, by all existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of SS&C that guarantee the obligations under the Prior Facility or any of SS&C’s other indebtedness or the indebtedness of the guarantors.
	On December 19, 2011, the Company completed a full redemption of the remaining $66.6 million outstanding principal balance of the 11  3⁄4% senior subordinated notes due 2013, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on such amount to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.9 million, which relates to the write-off of capitalized financing costs attributable to the redeemed notes.
	The Company had previously completed two partial redemptions of the outstanding 11  3⁄4% senior subordinated notes due 2013:
		•		On March 17, 2011, the Company completed a partial redemption for $66.6 million in principal amount at a redemption price of 102.9375% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such amount to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.9 million in connection with the redemption, which includes the redemption premium of $2.0 million and $0.9 million relating to the write-off of capitalized financing costs attributable to the redeemed notes.
		•		On May 24, 2010, the Company completed a partial redemption of $71.75 million in principal amount at a redemption price of 105.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such amount to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

	7. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
	Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative qualifies for hedge accounting and is effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income are subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company had no derivative instruments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	On March 14, 2012, SS&C and SS&C Sarl entered into a cooperation agreement with GlobeOp, pursuant to which SS&C Sarl issued an announcement disclosing that the Company and GlobeOp had agreed on the terms of a recommended cash offer (the “Offer”) to be made by SS&C Sarl to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of GlobeOp for cash of 485 pence per share. As a result of the Offer’s foreign currency denomination, the Company was exposed to market risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In conjunction with the Offer, the Company entered into a forward currency transaction and a currency option transaction to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risk that existed. The transactions were contingent upon the Offer meeting the acceptance conditions and were not designated as hedge transactions. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the forward contract was utilized at an average exchange rate of $1.584 to £1.0 on a notional amount of £423.0 million, and the option contract was sold. These transactions resulted in a loss of $14.3 million recorded in other expense on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2012. There were no associated losses recorded in the year ended December 31, 2011.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	8. Fair Value Measurements
	Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
	The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, net, and accounts payable approximate the carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
	The authoritative guidance relating to fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to the valuations used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows.
		•		Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
		•		Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation.
		•		Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.
	A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any significant nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
	Recurring Fair Value Measurements
	The table below segregates all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine their fair value at the measurement date (in thousands):
			Total Carrying		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
			Value at
			December 31, 2013
	Assets		$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—
	Liabilities:
	Contingent consideration		$	500	$	—	$	—	$	500
	Total liabilities		$	500	$	—	$	—	$	500
	The Company determines the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities associated with its acquisitions based on the potential payments of the liability associated with the unobservable input of the estimated post-acquisition financial results (the achievement of certain revenue and EBITDA targets) of the related acquisition through a certain date. As such, contingent consideration liabilities are a Level 3 liability. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s contingent consideration liability of $0.5 million was measured at fair value using estimated future cash flows based on the potential payments of the liability based on the unobservable input of the estimated post-acquisition financial results of Prime Management Limited (“Prime”) through September 30, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company increased its contingent consideration liability associated with the estimated post-acquisition financial results of BenefitsXML, Inc. (“BXML”) through February 28, 2013 to $2.3 million. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company paid out $2.0 million of contingent consideration and reduced the remaining fair value to $0.3 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Company reduced the liability to $0 and recorded the adjustment to other income. See Note 12 for further discussion of acquisitions.
	The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows (in thousands):
			2013				2012
			Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
			Amount		Value		Amount		Value
	Financial liabilities:
	Credit facility		$	774,507	$	783,606	$	1,012,138	$	1,029,951
	The above fair values were computed based on comparable quoted market prices or an estimate of the amount to be paid to terminate or settle the agreement, as applicable. The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, net, short-term borrowings, and accounts payable approximate the carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Equity and Stock-Based Compensation	'
	11. Equity and Stock-based Compensation
	In April 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, an equity-based incentive plan (“the 2008 Plan”), which authorizes equity awards to be granted for up to 8,081,645 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is calculated based on an initial authorization of 1,416,661 shares of the Company’s common stock and an annual increase to be added on the first day of each of the Company’s fiscal years during the term of the 2008 stock incentive plan beginning in fiscal 2009 equal to the lesser of (i) 1,416,661 shares of common stock, (ii) 2% of the outstanding shares on such date or (iii) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors. Under the 2008 Plan, which became effective in July 2008, the exercise price of awards is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share on such date. Generally, awards expire ten years from the date of grant. The Company has granted time-based options under the 2008 Plan.
	In August 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted an equity-based incentive plan (“the 2006 Plan”), which authorizes equity awards to be granted for up to 11,173,819 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the 2006 Plan, the exercise price of awards is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share on such date. Generally, awards expire ten years from the date of grant. The Company has granted restricted shares of its common stock and both time-based and performance-based options under the 2006 Plan.
	The Company generally settles stock option exercises with newly issued common shares.
	Restricted shares. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company granted 25,000 restricted shares of its common stock under the 2006 Plan, which vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 1/12th of the remaining balance each quarter thereafter for three years. The restricted shares vest in full upon a change in control, subject to certain conditions.
	Time-based options. Time-based options granted under the 2006 Plan or the 2008 Plan generally vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 1/36th of the remaining balance each month thereafter for 36 months. All time-based options vest upon a change in control, subject to certain conditions. Time-based options granted during 2013, 2012 and 2011 have a weighted-average grant date fair value of $9.86, $5.79 and $4.34 per share, respectively, based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The fair value of time-based options vested during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $8.2 million, $4.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2013, there was approximately $33.7 million of unearned non-cash stock-based compensation related to time-based options that the Company expects to recognize as expense over a weighted average remaining period of approximately three years.
	For the time-based options valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the Company used the following weighted-average assumptions:
			Time-Based awards
			2013			2012			2011
	Expected term to exercise (years)			4			4			4
	Expected volatility			28.04	%		32.14	%		36.13	%
	Risk-free interest rate			1.16	%		0.45	%		0.81	%
	Expected dividend yield			0	%		0	%		0	%
	Expected volatility is based on a combination of the Company’s historical volatility as a public company and historical volatility of the Company’s peer group. Expected term to exercise is based on the Company’s historical stock option exercise experience.
	Performance-based options. Certain performance-based options granted under the 2006 Plan vest upon the attainment of annual EBITDA targets for the Company during the five fiscal year periods following the date of grant. Additionally, EBITDA in excess of the EBITDA target in any given year shall be applied to the EBITDA of any previous year for which the EBITDA target was not met in full such that attainment of a prior year EBITDA target can be achieved subsequently. In the event all EBITDA targets of previous years were met in full, the excess EBITDA shall be applied to the EBITDA of future years. These performance-based options also vest upon a change in control, subject to certain conditions. There were no such performance-based options granted during 2013, 2012 or 2011. Compensation expense is recorded at the time that the attainment of the annual and cumulative EBITDA targets becomes probable. For purposes of this Note 11, references to EBITDA mean the Company’s Consolidated EBITDA, as further adjusted to exclude acquired EBITDA and cost savings.
		•		In February 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors established SS&C’s annual EBITDA target range for 2010. As of that date, the Company estimated the weighted-average fair value of the performance-based options that vest upon the attainment of the 2010 EBITDA target range to be $6.90 per share. In estimating the common stock value, the Company valued the Company using the income approach and the guideline company method. The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions to estimate the option value: expected term to exercise of 2.5 years; expected volatility of 43.0%; risk-free interest rate of 1.2%; and no dividend yield. Expected volatility is based on a combination of the Company’s historical volatility adjusted for the November 23, 2005 transactions in connection with the acquisition of SS&C by Holdings (the “Transaction”) and historical volatility of the Company’s peer group. Expected term to exercise is based on the Company’s historical stock option exercise experience, adjusted for the Transaction.
		•		In February 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the 2006 Plan to provide for the conversion of the outstanding performance-based options that would vest only upon a change in control into performance-based options that vest 50% based on EBITDA performance in each of 2010 and 2011. This amendment affected 1,680,868 outstanding options.
		•		In March 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors established SS&C’s annual EBITDA target range for 2011. As of that date, the Company estimated the weighted-average fair value of the performance-based options that vest upon the attainment of the 2011 EBITDA target range to be $11.41 per share. In estimating the common stock value, the Company valued the Company using the income approach and the guideline company method. The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions to estimate the option value: expected term to exercise of 2.5 years; expected volatility of 38.0%; risk-free interest rate of 1.0%; and no dividend yield. Expected volatility is based on a combination of the Company’s historical volatility adjusted for the Transaction and historical volatility of the Company’s peer group. Expected term to exercise is based on the Company’s historical stock option exercise experience, adjusted for the Transaction.
	The fair value of these performance-based options that vested during the year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $9.6 million. At December 31, 2011, there was no unearned non-cash stock-based compensation to be recognized in the future.
	Total restricted shares and stock-based option awards. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows (in thousands):

	The net assets and results of operations of Gravity have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from September 28, 2012. The purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets based on their fair value at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the intangible assets, consisting of trade name and customer relationships, was determined using the income approach. Specifically, the discounted cash flows method was utilized for customer relationships, and the relief-from-royalty method was utilized for the trade name. The intangible assets are amortized each year based on the ratio that the projected cash flows for the intangible assets bear to the total of current and expected future cash flows for the intangible assets. The customer relationships and trade name are each amortized over approximately seven years, in each case the estimated lives of the assets. The remainder of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and is tax deductible.
	GlobeOp

The fair value of customer relationships was determined using the income approach. Specifically, the discounted cash flows method was utilized. The customer relationships are amortized each year based on the ratio that current cash flows for the customer relationships bear to the total of current and expected future cash flows for the customer relationships. The customer relationships are amortized over approximately six years, the estimated life of the asset. The remainder of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and is not tax deductible.
	BenefitsXML
	On March 10, 2011, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of BXML for approximately $14.8 million in cash, plus the costs of effecting the transaction and the assumption of certain liabilities. BXML provides technology solutions for employee benefit plan providers.
	The net assets and results of operations of BXML have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from March 11, 2011. The purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets based on their fair value at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the intangible assets, consisting of completed technology, trade name and client contracts, was determined using the income approach. Specifically, the relief-from-royalty method was utilized for the completed technology and trade name, and the discounted cash flows method was utilized for the contractual relationships. The intangible assets are amortized each year based on the ratio that the projected cash flows for the intangible assets bear to the total of current and expected future cash flows for the intangible assets. The completed technology is amortized over approximately five years, contractual relationships are amortized over approximately five years and trade name is amortized over approximately seven years, the estimated lives of the assets. The Company initially recorded a contingent consideration liability of $1.8 million, which was based on the attainment of certain revenue and EBITDA targets by the acquired business through February 28, 2013. The total possible range of undiscounted payments was from zero to $3.0 million. As of December 31, 2012, the liability was $0 and is discussed above in Note 8. The remainder of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and is tax deductible (excluding the portion relating to the contingent consideration liability, which is not tax deductible until paid).
	The following summarizes the allocation of the purchase price for the acquisitions of Gravity, GlobeOp, the PORTIA Business, Ireland Fund Admin, and BXML (in thousands):

	14. Commitments and Contingencies
	As described below, the Company’s subsidiary, GlobeOp, is a defendant in pending litigation relating to several clients for which GlobeOp performed services.
	Fairfield Greenwich-Related Actions
	In April 2009, GlobeOp was named as a defendant in a putative class action (the “Anwar Action”), filed by Pasha S. Anwar in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against multiple defendants relating to Greenwich Sentry L.P. and Greenwich Sentry Partners L.P., (the “FG Funds”), and the alleged losses sustained by the FG Funds’ investors as a result of Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. The complaint alleged breach of fiduciary duties by GlobeOp and negligence in the performance of its duties and sought to recover as damages the net losses sustained by investors in the putative class, together with applicable interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. GlobeOp served as administrator for the Greenwich Sentry fund from October 2003 through August 2006 and for the Greenwich Sentry Partners fund from May 2006 through August 2006, during which time the approximate net asset value of the Greenwich Sentry Fund was $135 million and the Greenwich Sentry Partners Fund was $6 million. In February 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification of a class consisting of all net loss investors in the litigated funds (excluding investors from a number of enumerated foreign countries). GlobeOp petitioned the Court of Appeals to permit an interlocutory appeal of the class certification order, but subsequently requested that the Court of Appeals hold its petition in abeyance pending the consummation of a settlement, as detailed below.
	GlobeOp was also named as one of five defendants in two derivative actions (the “Derivative Actions”) that were initially filed in New York State Supreme Court in February 2009. Following initial motion practice, the court ordered the plaintiffs to arbitrate the claims asserted against GlobeOp. A litigation trustee on behalf of the bankrupt FG Funds subsequently substituted in as the plaintiff in these actions, which relate to the same losses alleged in the Anwar Action. The litigation trustee sought unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, together with applicable interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees, as well as contribution and indemnification from GlobeOp for the FG Funds’ settlement with the Irving Picard, trustee for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC. GlobeOp maintained that the prior orders compelling arbitration apply to the litigation trustee.
	In August 2013, GlobeOp and the plaintiffs in the Anwar Action and the Derivative Actions, as well as certain insurers that have agreed to provide GlobeOp with coverage for these claims, entered into a settlement agreement resolving all disputes and claims between and among the parties. After notice and certification of a settlement class, the settlement was approved by an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on November 22, 2013 (the “Settlement Order”). No appeals of the Settlement Order were filed by the January 27, 2014 deadline and, accordingly, the settlement is now final. On January 28, 2014, a notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice was filed in the New York State Court overseeing the Derivative Actions. On or about January 30, 2014, the settlement amount was released from two escrow accounts to the plaintiffs in the Anwar Action and the Derivative Actions. The entirety of the settlement amount was funded by GlobeOp’s insurers. Accordingly, the settlement of the Anwar Action and the Derivative Actions has been consummated and the matters are concluded.
	Millennium Actions
	Several actions (the “Millennium Actions”) have been filed in various jurisdictions against GlobeOp alleging claims and damages with respect to a valuation agent services agreement performed by GlobeOp for the Millennium Global Emerging Credit Fund, L.P. and Millennium Global Emerging Credit Fund Ltd. (the “Millennium Funds”). These actions include (i) a putative class action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “U.S. Class Action”) on behalf of a putative class of investors in the Millennium Funds filed in May 2012 asserting claims of $844 million (the alleged aggregate value of assets under management by the Millennium Funds at the funds’ peak valuation); (ii) an arbitration proceeding in the United Kingdom (the “UK Arbitration”) on behalf of Millennium Global Investments Ltd. and Millennium Asset Management Ltd., the Millennium Funds’ investment manager and administrative manager, respectively (together, the “Millennium Managers”), which commenced with a request for arbitration in July 2011, seeking an indemnity of $26.5 million for sums paid by way of settlement to the Millennium Funds in a separate arbitration to which GlobeOp was not a party, as well as an indemnity for any losses that may be incurred by the Millennium Managers in the U.S. Class Action; and (iii) a claim in the same arbitration proceeding by the liquidators on behalf of the Millennium Global Emerging Credit Master Fund Ltd. (the “Master Fund”) against GlobeOp for damages alleged to be in excess of $160 million. These actions allege that GlobeOp breached its contractual obligations and/or negligently breached a duty of care in the performance of services for the Millennium Fund and that, inter alia, GlobeOp should have discovered and reported a fraudulent scheme perpetrated by the portfolio manager employed by the investment manager. The U.S. Class Action also asserts claims against SS&C identical to the claims against GlobeOp in that action. In the arbitration, GlobeOp has asserted counterclaims against both the Millennium Managers and the Master Fund for indemnity, including in respect of the U.S. Class Action.
	A hearing on the merits of the claims asserted in the UK arbitration was conducted in London in July and August 2013. The hearing has been adjourned and is not expected to be reconvened until September 2014.
	GlobeOp has secured insurance coverage that provides reimbursement of various litigation costs up to pre-determined limits. In 2012 and 2013, GlobeOp was reimbursed for litigation costs under the applicable insurance policy.
	In January 2014, GlobeOp, SS&C, the Millennium Managers and the plaintiff in the U.S. Class Action entered into a settlement agreement resolving all disputes and claims between and among the parties (including a separate mutual release between and among GlobeOp and SS&C, on the one hand, and the Millennium Managers on the other). The parties have presented the settlement agreement for approval by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. As part of the settlement, GlobeOp and the Millennium Managers have agreed to withdraw their claims against each other in the UK Arbitration upon approval of the settlement agreement by the United States District Court. Pending that approval, the UK Arbitration has been stayed in relation to the claims between Millennium and GlobeOp. The settlement agreement does not affect the claims counterclaims and/or defenses as between GlobeOp and the Master Fund.
	GlobeOp’s insurers have agreed to fund the entirety of the settlement amount contemplated to be contributed by GlobeOp.
	The Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters. The Company believes that it has strong defenses in the U.S. Class Action and the UK Arbitration and is vigorously contesting the UK Arbitration (as described above, the U.S. Class Action is the subject of a proposed settlement agreement). The amount of any potential loss, if any at all, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
	In addition to the foregoing legal proceedings, from time to time, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of its business. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Company is not involved in any other such litigation or proceedings with third parties that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, collectability of accounts receivable, costs to complete certain contracts, valuation of acquired assets and liabilities, valuation of stock options, income tax accruals and the value of deferred tax assets. Estimates are also used to determine the remaining economic lives and carrying value of fixed assets, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation. Unconsolidated investments in entities over which the Company does not have control but has the ability to exercise influence over operating and financial policies, if any, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Earnings and losses from such investments are recorded on a pre-tax basis.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company’s payment terms for software licenses typically require that the total fee be paid upon signing of the contract. Maintenance services are typically due in full at the beginning of the maintenance period. Professional services and software-enabled services are typically due and payable monthly in arrears. Normally, the Company’s arrangements do not provide for any refund rights, and payments are not contingent on specific milestones or customer acceptance conditions. For arrangements that do contain such provisions, the Company defers revenue until the rights or conditions have expired or have been met.
	Unbilled accounts receivable primarily relates to professional services and software-enabled services revenue that has been earned as of month end but is not invoiced until the subsequent month, and to software license revenue that has been earned and is realizable but not invoiced to clients until future dates specified in the client contract.
	Deferred revenue consists of payments received related to product delivery, maintenance and other services, which have been paid by customers prior to the recognition of revenue. Deferred revenue relates primarily to cash received for maintenance contracts in advance of services being performed over the contractual term.
Software-enabled Services	'
	Software-enabled Services
	The Company’s software-enabled services arrangements make its software applications available to its clients for processing of transactions. The software-enabled services arrangements provide an alternative for clients who do not wish to install, run and maintain complicated financial software. Under the arrangements, the client does not have the right to take possession of the software, rather, the Company agrees to provide access to its applications, remote use of its equipment to process transactions, access to client’s data stored on its equipment, and connectivity between its environment and the client’s computing systems. Software-enabled services are generally provided under non-cancelable contracts with initial terms of one to five years that require monthly or quarterly payments, and are subject to automatic annual renewal at the end of the initial term unless terminated by either party.
	The Company recognizes software-enabled services revenues on a monthly basis as the software-enabled services are provided and when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company does not recognize any revenue before services are performed. Certain contracts contain additional fees for increases in market value, pricing and trading activity. Revenues related to these additional fees are recognized in the month in which the activity occurs based upon the Company’s summarization of account information and trading volume.
License Revenue	'
	License Revenue
	The Company follows the principles of accounting standards relating to software revenue recognition, which provide guidance on applying GAAP in recognizing revenue on software transactions. Accounting standards require that revenue recognized from software transactions be allocated to each element of the transaction based on the relative fair values of the elements, such as software products, specified upgrades, enhancements, post-contract client support, installation or training. The determination of fair value is based upon vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). The Company recognizes software license revenues allocated to software products and enhancements generally upon delivery of each of the related products or enhancements, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met. In the rare occasion that a software license agreement includes the right to a specified upgrade or product, the Company defers all revenues under the arrangement until the specified upgrade or product is delivered, since typically VSOE does not exist to support the fair value of the specified upgrade or product.
	The Company generally recognizes revenue from sales of software or products including proprietary software upon product shipment and receipt of a signed contract, provided that collection is probable and all other revenue recognition criteria are met. The Company sells perpetual software licenses in conjunction with professional services for installation and maintenance. For these arrangements, the total contract value is attributed first to the maintenance arrangement based on its fair value, which is derived from stated renewal rates. The contract value is then attributed to professional services based on estimated fair value, which is derived from the rates charged for similar services provided on a stand-alone basis. The Company’s software license agreements generally do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, and, accordingly, implementation services provided by the Company are not considered essential to the functionality of the software. The remainder of the total contract value is then attributed to the software license based on the residual method.
	The Company also sells term licenses ranging from one to seven years, some of which include bundled maintenance services. For those arrangements with bundled maintenance services, VSOE does not exist for the maintenance element and therefore the total fee is recognized ratably over the contractual term of the arrangement. The Company classifies revenues from bundled term license arrangements as both software licenses and maintenance revenues by allocating a portion of the revenues from the arrangement to maintenance revenues and classifying the remainder in software licenses revenues. The Company uses its renewal rates for maintenance under perpetual license agreements for the purpose of determining the portion of the arrangement fee that is classified as maintenance revenues.
	The Company occasionally enters into license agreements requiring significant customization of the Company’s software. The Company accounts for the license fees under these agreements on the percentage-of-completion basis. This method requires estimates to be made for costs to complete the agreement utilizing an estimate of development man-hours remaining. Revenue is recognized each period based on the hours incurred to date compared to the total hours expected to complete the project. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least reasonably possible that completion costs may be revised. Such revisions are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are determined on a contract-by-contract basis, and are made in the period in which such losses are first estimated or determined.
Maintenance Agreements	'
	Maintenance Agreements
	Maintenance agreements generally require the Company to provide technical support and software updates (on a when-and-if-available basis) to its clients. Such services are generally provided under one-year renewable contracts. Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement.
Professional Services	'
	Professional Services
	The Company provides consulting and training services to its clients. Revenues for such services are generally recognized over the period during which the services are performed. The Company typically charges for professional services on a time-and-materials basis. However, some contracts are for a fixed fee. For the fixed-fee arrangements, an estimate is made of the total hours expected to be incurred to complete the project. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least reasonably possible that completion costs may be revised. Such revisions are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Revenues are recognized each period based on the hours incurred to date compared to the total hours expected to complete the project.
Research and Development	'
	Research and Development
	Research and development costs associated with computer software are charged to expense as incurred. Capitalization of internally developed computer software costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility based on a working model. Net capitalized software costs of $3.5 million and $2.4 million are included in the December 31, 2013 and 2012 balance sheets, respectively, under “Intangible and other assets”.
	The Company’s policy is to amortize these costs upon a product’s general release to the client. Amortization of capitalized software costs is calculated by the greater of (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, including the period being reported on, typically two to five years. It is reasonably possible that those estimates of anticipated future gross revenues, the remaining estimated economic life of the product, or both could be reduced significantly due to competitive pressures. Amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs was $1.0 million, $0.5 million, and $0.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
Stock-based Compensation	'
	Stock-based Compensation
	Using the fair value recognition provisions of relevant accounting literature, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the appropriate service period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards requires considerable judgment, including estimating the expected term of stock options, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, and the number of awards expected to be forfeited. Differences between actual results and these estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. A deferred income tax asset is recorded over the vesting period as stock compensation expense is recorded for non-qualified option awards. The realizability of the deferred tax asset is ultimately based on the actual value of the stock-based award upon exercise. If the actual value is lower than the fair value determined on the date of grant, then there could be an income tax expense for the portion of the deferred tax asset that is not realizable.
Other Income (Expense), Net	'
	Other Income (Expense), Net
	Other income, net for 2013 consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains of $3.4 million. Other expense, net for 2012 consists primarily of foreign currency transaction losses of $12.4 million and a loss of $3.8 million recorded on foreign currency contracts associated with the acquisition of GlobeOp Financial Services, S.A. (“GlobeOp”), which is discussed further in Note 12. These losses were partially offset by a reduction of the Company’s remaining contingent consideration liability associated with the BenefitsXML, Inc. (“BXML”) acquisition from $0.3 million to $0. Other expense, net for 2011 consists primarily of an increase of $0.5 million in the contingent consideration liability from $1.8 million to $2.3 million, fees of $0.3 million associated with the redemption of SS&C’s 11  3⁄4 senior subordinated notes due 2013, which is discussed further in Note 6 below, and foreign currency transaction losses of $0.1 million. These costs were partially offset by a refund of facilities charges of $0.5 million.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the relevant accounting literature. An asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of items that are recognized in the Company’s financial statements and tax returns in different years. A valuation allowance is established against net deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.
	The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company did not hold any cash equivalents at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Restricted Cash	'
	Restricted Cash
	Restricted cash includes monies held by a bank as security for a letter of credit issued due to lease requirements for office space. The letter of credit is expected to be renewed within the next twelve months, and as such, the restricted cash is classified as a current asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, cash movements of restricted cash is included in other investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Property, Plant and Equipment	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using a combination of straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
	Description	Useful Life
	Land	—
	Buildings and improvements	40 years
	Equipment	3-5 years
	Furniture and fixtures	7-10 years
	Leasehold improvements	Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life
	Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $14.7 million, $10.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively.
	Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The costs of sold or retired assets are removed from the related asset and accumulated depreciation accounts and any gain or loss is included in other income (expense), net.
Registration Costs	'
	Registration Costs
	During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company incurred a total of $0.9 million in professional fees and other costs related to its secondary offering. These costs were netted against the related offering proceeds in the accompanying financial statements. There were no such costs during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and Intangible Assets
	The Company tests goodwill annually for impairment as of December 31st (and in interim periods if certain events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount). The Company has completed the required impairment tests for goodwill and has determined that no impairment existed as of December 31, 2013 or 2012. The first step of the impairment analysis, which is based on our reporting unit structure, indicated that the fair value significantly exceeded the carrying value at December 31, 2013. There were no other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.
	The following table summarizes changes in goodwill (in thousands):
	Balance at December 31, 2011	$	931,639
	2012 acquisitions		610,073
	Adjustments to previous acquisitions		53
	Income tax benefit on rollover options exercised		(37	)
	Effect of foreign currency translation		17,879
	Balance at December 31, 2012		1,559,607
	2013 acquisitions		910
	Adjustments to previous acquisitions		(202	)
	Income tax benefit on rollover options exercised		(3,567	)
	Effect of foreign currency translation		(15,362	)
	Balance at December 31, 2013	$	1,541,386
	Completed technology and other identifiable intangible assets are amortized over lives ranging from three to 17 years based on the ratio that current cash flows for the intangible asset bear to the total of current and expected future cash flows for the intangible asset. Amortization expense associated with completed technology and other amortizable intangible assets was $84.1 million, $64.6 million and $36.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	A summary of the components of intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):
		December 31,
		2013			2012
	Customer relationships	$	599,186		$	596,396
	Completed technology		122,758			123,787
	Trade names		36,072			35,524
	Other		2,887			2,981

	Less: accumulated amortization		(336,712	)		(254,259	)
		$	424,191		$	504,429
	Total estimated amortization expense, related to intangible assets, for each of the next five years, as of December 31, 2013, is expected to approximate (in thousands):
	Year Ending December 31,
	2014	$	83,265
	2015		81,082
	2016		72,149
	2017		54,245
	2018		48,583

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made recovery of the assets’ carrying value unlikely. An impairment loss would be recognized when the sum of the expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The Company has identified no such impairment losses.
Concentration of Credit Risk	'
	Concentration of Credit Risk
	Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and trade receivables. The Company has cash investment policies that limit investments to investment grade securities. Concentrations of credit risk, with respect to trade receivables, are limited due to the fact that the Company’s client base is highly diversified. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no significant concentrations of credit.
International Operations and Foreign Currency	'
	International Operations and Foreign Currency
	The functional currency of each foreign subsidiary is the local currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and capital stock accounts are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average rates during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are excluded from net earnings and accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included within other income (expense) in the results of operations in the periods in which they occur.
Comprehensive Income	'
	Comprehensive Income
	Items defined as comprehensive income, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, are separately classified in the financial statements. The accumulated balance of other comprehensive income is reported separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Total comprehensive income consists of net income and other accumulated comprehensive income disclosed in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which amends the accounting guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but do require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about these amounts. For public companies, these amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The new guidance affects disclosures only and did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)— Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”), to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). The objective is to end some inconsistent practices with regard to the presentation on the balance sheet of unrecognized tax benefits. ASU 2013-11 is effective for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2013, wither early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this standard beginning January 1, 2014. The Company does not expect these changes to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share	'
	Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
	Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated in accordance with the relevant standards. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options and restricted stock using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such common equivalent shares is anti-dilutive because their total assumed proceeds exceed the average fair value of common stock for the period. The Company has two classes of common stock, each with identical participation rights to earnings and liquidation preferences, and therefore the calculation of EPS as described above is identical to the calculation under the two-class method.
	The following table sets forth the weighted average common shares used in the computation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands):
		Year Ended December 31,
		2013			2012			2011
	Weighted average common shares outstanding — used in calculation of basic EPS		81,195			78,321			76,482
	Weighted average common stock equivalents — options and restricted shares		4,421			4,567			4,227
	Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding — used in calculation of diluted EPS		85,616			82,888			80,709
	Options to purchase 133,598, 703,446 and 272,266 shares were outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of including the options would be anti-dilutive.

'

'The term A loans and the revolving credit facility initially bear interest at either LIBOR plus 2.75% or at the base rate plus 1.75%, and then will be subject to a step-down based on SS&C's consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio and would be equal to 2.50% in the case of the LIBOR margin, and 1.50% in the case of the base rate margin. The term B loans bear interest at either LIBOR plus 4.00% or at base rate plus 3.00%, with LIBOR subject to a 1.00% floor.

'

'Under the 2006 Plan, the exercise price of awards is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share on such date.

'

'

'

'

'

'There is an annual increase to be added on the first day of each of the Companybs fiscal years during the term of the 2008 stock incentive plan beginning in fiscal 2009 equal to the lesser of (i) 1,416,661 shares of common stock, (ii) 2% of the outstanding shares on such date or (iii) an amount determined by the Companybs board of directors. Under the 2008 Plan, which became effective in July 2008, the exercise price of awards is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share on such date. Generally, awards expire ten years from the date of grant. The Company has granted time-based options under the 2008 Plan.

'

'

'

'Time-based options granted under the 2006 Plan or the 2008 Plan generally vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 1/36th of the remaining balance each month thereafter for 36 months. All time-based options vest upon a change in control, subject to certain conditions.
