Investment Book of Record ─ Webcast

Appreciable numbers of buy-side firms have either already started down the road to developing an IBOR or are in the throes of evaluating the practicalities and permutations of such potentially complex projects. And while there are only a handful of successfully completed "true" IBOR platforms across the global investment management industry, their benefits to the business and personnel ─ both front and back office ─ are potentially game changing.

The topics covered included:

• What are the operational "ingredients" that make up a typical IBOR framework, and what technologies and systems need to be incorporated before an IBOR platform can be considered a practical and operational success? 
• What is the business rationale for implementing an IBOR, considering such projects are likely to be expensive, time-consuming and complex? 
• Typically who within buy-side firms takes the decision to implement an IBOR, and what areas of the business need to be included in the planning and execution of such projects? 
• What are the most onerous technology and operational aspects associated with typical IBOR implementations, and how can third-party technology vendors assist buy-side firms when it comes to planning and executing such projects? 
• Typically where do most IBOR projects experience the biggest technology and operational challenges, and how can firms plan ahead to ensure such challenges can be mitigated?
