Operational Platform

Organising an effective operational platform is a fundamental element in the management of an asset business. Operational platforms can be an expensive commitment for a business – both initially and on an ongoing basis – and, hence, need to be designed and constructed with considerable thought.

An operational platform is not purely focused on so called ‘back-office’ functionality needed to run the business. The operational platform needs to straddle all aspects of the business such that the appropriate integration is present.

Whilst business operational packages are readily available, only a number provide fully-integrated solutions which deal with the front, middle and back offices and which cover, inter alia, the following areas:

  • Product development
  • Product maintenance
  • Portfolio Modeling
  • Trading Capability
  • Front-end client services
  • Accounting and finance
  • Compliance
  • Risk management
  • Regulatory reporting
  • HR
