However, they are not one-size-fits-all. A diverse IT-environment and silo operations make financial system design and integration quite complex. General partners can use Alternative Investment software to comply with requirements by regulatory frameworks as FATCA and AIFMD. But configuring and customizing that software to fit your business’s unique needs requires deep domain and technology expertise.

Making information capture key in Alternative Investments. Flyzone provides diagnoses and analyses of the business, specifically on process, system and data management.

Business Process Management

Business Process Management combines the worlds of business analysts and developers. Using a flow chart it models your business goals by describing the steps that are needed to achieve that goal. It will make your business logic visible, more agile and easier to monitor. Flyzone provides Business Process Management with ’Rules’, a tool provided by Mavim. It helps to control business processes by visually registering the rules and responsibilities in your company. Using ’best practice’ libraries to generate a flying start in the modeling process.

Risk management

With risk management you want to control uncertainty in investment decisions. As a basis for either accepting or avoiding the risks involved. It is the ’number one’ question on an investor’s or fund manager’s mind when defining potential losses. It’s all about comparing investment objectives and risk tolerance. Inadequately managing risk can have severe consequences. Flyzone uses Mavim ’Rules’ to help you minimize risks with ’best specific practice’ library modules to determine risks in your investment and to professionally handle those risks.
