Problem:
Growth Fund Partnership faced an ever-expanding list of international investments, valued in multiple currencies, experiencing varied political and economic pressures and risks, along with oftentimes conflicting multinational legal requirements and treaty obligations was driving this US$11 billion investment trust to the verge of corporate insanity.

Solution:
First, a server cluster was designed as a centralized document storage system for all the offices to use as a total data repository for the company.  These documents were then indexed based on the relevant investments.  Employees were retrained to include specific keywords in the document metadata (easier than it sounds) to aide in the document indexing.  These documents were then categorized based on the specific and relevant investment.  For the first time in company history, all documents relating to any investment were localized in one place for easy retrieval and review by company personnel, regardless of location on the planet.

R-Squared next examined all existing Growth Fund investments and categorized them based on asset class, geographic location and currency.  Once all required currencies were identified, a simple use of web technology allowed for accurate and timely currency conversion rates to extrapolate the investment's valuation to any other currency used in the normal course of Growth Fund's business dealings.  This permitted Growth Fund personnel to take advantage of any changes in the company operating portfolio brought about by fluctuations in currency markets. 

Asset class data allowed Growth Fund to see a Big Picture view of overall investments into vertical market segments, and total company exposure based on industry.  This permitted the company to make new investment acquisition decisions based on corporate historical data and trends.  In addition, this permitted management to ensure a diversified portfolio as mandated by the corporation's governing regulations.

By dynamically identifying the physical geographic location of various investments, applicable treaties and laws could be immediately referred within the Growth Fund reporting mechanisms.  Growth Fund's Legal Compliance Division was able to upload applicable laws and treaty obligations into the computer systems based solely on geographic or political boundaries which were then applied to all regional investments.  The immediate benefit to Growth Fund from this system was a drastic reduction of fines and penalties imposed by governments for minor violations.  The total savings realized amounted to more than US$1.7 million in the first year.  As the Legal Compliance Division continues to update the data, it is expected that additional losses (estimated at US$15.89 million) shall be averted.

Please note, there are many additional capabilities within this system that we cannot disclose because of our Non-Disclosure Agreement with Growth Fund.  We apologize for the inconvenience.
