As the private markets industry continues to grow and mature, investor and regulator expectations increase, particularly demands relating to Business Intelligence (BI) and reporting. At the top of the list: greater transparency in reporting, real-time data, customizable reporting dashboards and enhanced report templates.
To meet these expectations, and to enable the smooth and regular reporting of data, asset managers need to select the right technology and ensure it’s integrated seamlessly across platforms.
Common BI and reporting challenges we address
We’ve partnered with many leading multi-asset private market firms to transform their technology systems and to address complex operational challenges.
Some of the common challenges we’ve worked with clients to resolve include:
- Speeding up and automating the reporting process to spend more time on analysis and decision-making.
- Reducing reporting errors.
- Achieving real-time data and automatically reflecting this in relevant reports.
- Preparing ‘Investor ready’ reports in terms of visual layout, and collating multiple data sources.
