Business Problem:

As part of an enterprise wide programme to deliver a technology and operational infrastructure to support a client’s business strategy, a data management solution was required to meet the following strategic objectives:

• Trade Management data to be migrated to the external fund administrator
• Custody data to be migrated to the external fund administrator
• Back Office Operations to be outsourced to the external fund administrator

The problem the client had in achieving these objectives was that the business information required to meet the objectives was disparate across the enterprise and had to be sourced and aggregated from a variety of technology and information platforms.
