Standish Management deploys 50+ AI agents across fund administration with DataSnipper

Standish Management, a fund administrator serving private equity and venture capital funds, is using DataSnipper's agentic platform to automate tasks across investor relations, journal entries, and reporting workflows. The firm has built over 50 AI agents to handle document-heavy processes whilst keeping human experts in control at every decision point. DataSnipper's platform works within existing files and workflows, automating manual data gathering and validation whilst maintaining traceable links to source documents. This allows Standish's 1,200 professionals across 19 offices to focus more on analysis and client service. "Our goal is not to replace expertise with automation. It's to give our team better tools," said Linda Jones, managing director at Standish Management. The firm administers over $850 billion in assets for more than 500 clients. DataSnipper reported delivering $1.4 billion in productivity savings to customers in 2025.

Standish Management expands technology ecosystem with DataSnipper's Agentic platform.

Standish Management expands technology ecosystem with DataSnipper's Agentic platform. DataSnipper News Published. August 31, 2026 (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) 1 September 2026 - DataSnipper, the agentic platform for audit and finance, today announced that Standish Management, a leading fund administrator serving private equity, venture capital, and other alternative investment funds, is leveraging DataSnipper's AI Agents as part of its broader technology strategy to increase efficiency across its fund administration workflow. As fund structures, reporting requirements, and investor expectations grow in complexity, Standish continues to invest in people, processes, and technology that support scalable, high-quality fund administration. Using DataSnipper's Agentic platform, Standish has developed AI agents to work together with its highly experienced teams to automate certain tasks across processes such as investor relations, journal entries, workflow tracking, and reporting. For Standish and its clients, DataSnipper's AI Agents enable its teams to provide enhanced value to clients through greater efficiency, faster turnaround times, greater insights, and enhanced quality. In addition, it enables Standish's industry leading experts to spend more time engaging with clients as thought partners. Working inside the native files and workflows teams already use, DataSnipper automates document-intensive processes without requiring teams to fundamentally change how they work. The platform keeps traceable links to the source document behind each figure, then matches, extracts, and compares the data, so Standish's teams perform reviews efficiently, while preserving appropriate controls in a manner consistent with Standish's proven, time-tested processes. With DataSnipper's human in the loop approach, a Standish expert stays in control at every judgment point, and every result links back to its exact source document. For a firm whose name goes on everything it sends to clients, the traceability that DataSnipper provides is what lets its teams verify and stand behind their work. "Our goal is not to replace expertise with automation. It's to give our team better tools," said Linda Jones, Managing Director and Co-Head of Client Solutions & Technology at Standish Management. "By reducing time spent on manual data gathering and validation, our teams can focus more attention on analysis, oversight, and responsiveness to our clients. We see DataSnipper as a way to enhance the client experience while maintaining the high standards of quality and accountability that define our service model," added Alexa O'Hare, Managing Director and Co-Head of Client Solutions & Technology at Standish Management. How Standish Management is using DataSnipper. As part of its broader investment in technology and operational excellence, Standish is putting DataSnipper's AI Agents to support a number of workflow-specific activities within its fund administration operations. These are the high-volume, document-heavy tasks that run through a fund administrator every day, from extracting and validating incoming data to reconciling records and preparing information for review and reporting. Using DataSnipper's Agent Builder, the firm has turned its procedures into reusable agents its teams can run firmwide. As the agents take on the repetitive work in bulk, Standish's people get more time for the review, judgment, and client service the firm is known for. "Standish is exactly the kind of forward-thinking firm we love to work with," said Vidya Peters, CEO of DataSnipper. " They saw how much AI could do for the speed and quality of the work they deliver to clients, and they've built over 50 agents across their fund administration process They are among the first fund administrators to adopt agents at this scale, while keeping their people in control of every result. We're proud to support Standish's team as they raise the bar for clients." As more firms weigh how to bring AI into their work, Standish is at the forefront of embedding AI into its fund administration workflows in a responsible manner: agents working across the process, people accountable for every result. As the first fund administrator to work with DataSnipper to build agents, and a DataSnipper design partner, the firm will keep expanding its use of AI Agents and help put new capabilities to work first.
