Partner Showcase- Deloitte

Integrating the Extended Enterprise: An Investor's Perspective

Facing the changing economy and challenges associated with investment and portfolio management, investors are looking for more reliable and timely information to ensure that their capital is safe, performance is aligned with expectation and the investment decisions are sound. As a result, investors are increasingly asking for realtime information from their extended enterprise, which includes their advisors, investment managers, property managers, banks, consultants and other third party service providers.

Deloitte is presenting in partnership with CalPERS, one of the biggest pension funds in the world, which also has a significant investment in the Real Estate. In this presentation, we will address investor expectations such as the metrics for investment decisions and information required from investment partners. We will also discuss the system and process project currently underway at CalPERS focused on integrating the "Extended Enterprise" and the challenges faced while doing so.
