FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LGPS Central selects Factbook for factsheets, client reports and data automation
Factbook, a specialist provider of client reporting, fund reporting and data automation solutions to the investment community, today announces that LGPS Central has selected Factbook’s industry leading Studio10™ technology platform to populate and produce their Client Reports, Factsheets and automate their data ingress processes.
“We faced a number of challenges with complex processes. Handling and transforming data from custodians and third-party applications and feeding them into multiple reports were among the more immediate. Also, delivering them with all the required accuracy, and in a timely and consistent manner was another. With an increasing number of funds come an increasing number of our detailed and targeted fund factsheets that must be generated within tight timescales. Historically, this has been a labour intensive and non-scalable process.” said Neil Wain, Head of Investment Operations, LGPS Central.
Factbook is recognised as the leading vendor when it comes to integrating with external data sources and transforming that data. Its technology platform features modular solutions that enable teams to structure and scale reporting operations. Marc Dukes, Director of Client Services, Factbook, commented, “We were able to show an immediate and clear value proposition that addressed all the challenges LGPS Central had identified.”
“We are delighted to be working with LGPS Central,” said Abbey Shasore, CEO, Factbook. “During our initial discussions of their needs and challenges, it was clear to us we could be of immediate assistance. Our very experienced delivery teams will ensure we provide LGPS Central with a high-quality reporting service from our Factbook Solution suite that not only meets all their data integration needs but also provides the reporting flexibility the business will need in the future.”
