The Growing Movement Toward Outsourcing Data Base Reporting

 Understanding the critical role the databases play in raising AUM, many managers are turning to third-party experts in database reporting, as relying solely on internal resources is no longer sufficient.


Why Outsource Consultant Database Management?

For many asset managers, the most comprehensive, efficient, and cost-effective way to handle database reporting is by outsourcing to a third-party provider.  Hiring a provider that has extensive industry experience takes the burden off managers, and results in operational efficiencies while boosting visibility to search opportunities due to an increase in the depth of reporting across all industry databases. Additionally, asset managers can experience increased economies of scale, operational efficiencies, and access to expert knowledge in critical areas.


Here are the key challenges that drive asset managers to seek external help:


  • Stringent Deadlines: Consultant databases are updated both monthly and quarterly, with tight deadlines that put significant pressure on internal teams.


  • Data Formatting: Gathering data from multiple sources to meet various formats across database structures requires expertise and deep knowledge.


  • Data Cleansing: Reconciling data to make sure it makes sense before reporting is critical to ensuring accuracy.


  • Data Volume and Velocity: Asset managers handle increasing amounts of data, driven by the demand for transparency.  Understanding what is required and requested across traditional and alternative asset classes can become overwhelming for managers.


Firms are constantly tasked with collecting, validating, and finalizing data for consultant database reporting. The tedious nature of these tasks can consume valuable time and resources, prompting many firms to seek better ways to streamline their internal and external reporting.
