One of the largest single family offices that specializes in managing estates for one of the wealthiest individual.

About The Product

It's an information portal with backstop integration to manage automation, distribution process, and mitigating operational risk. Using this portal, the client was able to represent single version of truth around its financial reporting and also create, manage, and distribute information to all of its stakeholders.

Business Problem

Client is managing one of the Forbes billionaire’s estates with staff that manages finance, accounting and various properties around the world. The client had disparate systems that generate, distribute and report data across various lines of business. There were manual processes to distribute data and keeping various sources of data in sync. Client had implemented Backstop and Microsoft SharePoint 2010 as their information portals. Specifically the client was challenged with: Automating the distribution process and mitigating operational risk with manual upload process on SharePoint portal Publishing and distributing a single version of truth Integration with Backstop : -- Using web services to access Backstop holdings (summary and detail) data to propagate a single version of truth, aka Goldencopy -- Create graph using historical performance data -- Generate custom PDF reports aggregating and manipulating various Backstop data elements Application and data security Managing historical data requirements Role based access control)

Solution

Our specialized knowledge of the enterprise content management, unique workflows in the wealth management industry, and leveraging reusable assets allowed us to quickly assemble a talented team of designers, developers, testers and project managers that delivered the project in record time from start to finish. We used web services API to interact with Backstop to extract required information, manipulate to generate PDF reports on the fly and then publish it to SharePoint that allowed end users to have a single version of truth. We used Microsoft SharePoint 2010 API for publishing to SharePoint portal using customized C# code that leverages the same mechanism for access control and role based security currently in place for their SharePoint environment.

Technology Used

Business Benefits

The biggest win for the client was the ability to represent single version of truth around its financial reporting. There were additional benefits as to create, manage and distribute information to all of its stakeholders on a consistent basis. The underlying use of Backstop and Microsoft SharePoint made it seamless for the client to integrate the portal with other in-house systems that were using Microsoft technologies.
