The Information Portal for Multi Managers

As a Manager of Managers, you don't just need to examine the figures, you also need to understand the organizations and people behind the figures.

So as well as needing to collate and analyse positions, performance and other quantitative analyses, from a number of disparate sources, you also need to organize and record the meetings and contacts with managers, share your thoughts and ideas with colleagues, and keep control of all the correspondence.

This may mean that your managers and analysts are spending more time collecting and collating data, and perhaps less time than they would like providing value added analysis. Spreadsheets are often used to hold important data, leading to potential concerns over controls and maintainability.

Wouldn't it be nice, then, if there was a solution that could help:

• Automate inputs from custodians and market information vendors.
• Incorporate your own proprietary and industry standard analytics.
• Allow integration of details of meetings, contacts, commentary and documents in a single desktop.
• Enable greater collaboration and consistency between analysts.
• Reduce the need to manually collate data into spreadsheets.

Well the good news is that there is now such a solution, our new information portal for investment firms, AlphaPoint.

Based on Microsoft's latest technology, AlphaPoint provides reporting and analysis via Web portals, Microsoft Office and ad hoc queries and data visualisation, as well as high quality reports. You can even control spreadsheets by publishing them to a central, controlled server environment with the newly released Excel Services.
