Brunel Pension Partnership is Live with Opus Nebula’s Reporting as a Service

LONDON, June 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
London CIV (LCIV) the first authorised and regulated investment management company set up within the local government pension scheme initiative in the UK has selected Opus Nebula 's Reporting as a Service® solution for its quarterly investment reports and factsheets. The Reporting as a Service® solution replaces a legacy reporting system and LCIV's clients, the London Local Authorities, will benefit from richer report content and shorter delivery times. LCIV undertook a robust and formal selection process to identify the appropriate solution and partner organisation. Rapid implementation, cost and time reduction in the process of producing reports and superior control and accuracy of content were key drivers for the decision. Contracts were signed with Opus Nebula in February 2018 and LCIV were able to deliver the initial reports from the new system for the first quarter of 2018. Speed and ease of on-boarding are proven characteristics of Opus Nebula's service model which leverages industry leading software to deliver its ground breaking Reporting as a Service offering. This in turn enables significantly faster and a cost-effective deployment than is possible with traditional client reporting system implementations. Brian Lee, COO at LCIV, commented: "We have very demanding reporting requirements and implementation timeframes. Our selection process was rigorous and included discussions and meetings with Opus Nebula's existing clients as well as traditional selection measures and analysis. Opus Nebula has enabled LCIV to automate its client reporting, reduce reporting times and mitigate process risk. This is an important first step in the build out of our operating model. The first quarter's reports were delivered on time and to budget." Andrew Sherlock, Chief Operating Officer of Opus Nebula, said: "We are delighted to welcome London CIV to our fast-growing community of clients. We pride ourselves on the timeliness and cost-effectiveness of our Reporting as a Service solution. Our rapid on-boarding and implementation model allows us to be producing reports for London CIV significantly sooner than more traditional models, thereby facilitating huge time to market advantages."

LONDON, June 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
RPMI Railpen (Railpen) has selected and implemented Opus Nebula 's Reporting as a Service® solution for its client investment reports. The Reporting as a Service® solution replaces a legacy reporting system and Railpen's clients will now benefit from richer report content and shorter delivery times. The solution was delivered on time and within the original project budget. Railpen was advised in late 2015 that their existing reporting solution was being withdrawn at the end of 2016. They had to select, implement, test and launch a new reporting solution within a year. If that wasn't challenging enough they also wanted to review and improve the report content. Following a robust selection process, including a proof of concept, contracts were signed with Opus Nebula in July 2016. For the remainder of the year as data feeds evolved from Railpen to feed the new format of a report, the capabilities of the new pack evolved iteratively with regular demonstration and review. Speed and ease of on-boarding are proven characteristics of Opus Nebula's Reporting as a Service® offering, which enables significantly faster, more cost-effective deployment than is possible with traditional client reporting system implementations. Geoff Smith, IT Programme Manager at Railpen, commented: "The speed and ease that Opus Nebula were able to on-board Railpen to their Reporting as a Service® solution was very impressive. Implementation of a traditional buy and build model would simply not have been possible in the timeframe. However, despite being fast to deploy, there is no compromise on report flexibility and quality. Throughout the project Opus Nebula's ongoing support and responsiveness was a significant factor in helping us to meet our deadlines. Opus Nebula has enabled Railpen to fully automate the reporting processes leading to significant improvement in the consistency and quality of reports, while simultaneously reducing process risk. We are now able to deliver a superior level of service to our clients with greater cost efficiency." Andrew Sherlock, Director and Co-founder of Opus Nebula, said: "We pride ourselves on the timeliness and cost-effectiveness of our Reporting as a Service® solution and are pleased that the inherent characteristics of our model were able to help Railpen achieve their critical business deadline. We are delighted that Railpen has chosen and implemented our solution to revolutionise their client reporting and improve their client servicing. Powered by SimCorp Coric , a multi- award winning client reporting engine, Opus Nebula's solution allows investment firms to offer a world-class reporting service to their clients, in a shorter timescale, with fixed set-up costs and pay-per-use pricing for ongoing production."
