Asset Management — Selection of an external provider for a Saas portfolio management solution & middle/back office services

Use Case

Selection of an external provider for a Saas portfolio management solution & middle/back office services

The client is an asset management company looking to change its operating model — changing its PMS to a SaaS-based solution, and outsourcing risk management and middle-office functions to focus on its core asset management business

In this context, the client wanted to have a vision of the state of the art in the market, to initiate a selection process and to be supported in the transition phase towards its new model
