The Challenge
Verrazzano Capital, a boutique equity asset manager, approached Equantiis to implement an automated Business Intelligence platform which would assist them in making informed data led decisions.
On a daily basis Verrazzano received data from various sources and in any variety of different formats. This data required extensive manual processing before it could be used by the business.
The existing manual process presented a risk in terms of potential human error as well as a large overhead in terms of physical time to deliver. In this fast moving industry, it was therefore paramount to bring efficiency to this process as well as allow the business to expand on its capability to report on this valuable data giving timely and accurate financial positioning of all of its funds.
In order to make informed decisions and automate data handling Verrazzano recognised the need to implement a platform which would aggregate their various streams of data and present it back in reports and dashboards for users.
The Solution
An initial workshop was carried out with various stakeholders within the business to understand the businesses key objectives and how business intelligence could support these. Following the initial research Equantiis put together a team of business analysts and data scientists to design a platform to best serve the needs of the business focusing on a number of specific outcomes.
