The FIS Data Exchange platform also acts as a centralized location for crucial information. It aggregates data from multiple sources and visualizes it for easy consumption by managers, stakeholders, and potential investors.

How an Investran Implementation Can Help You
Getting our Investran consulting services is one of the best things you can do to streamline your private equity accounting and improve your fund’s performance.
The Investran accounting system can drastically reduce the errors and time wasted by your accounting team. The platform features a smart search feature that allows you to narrow down your search results to only the data you need. In addition, powerful filters and keyword search parameters further help speed up your access to critical information.
The markers feature also allows accounting personnel to track changes when editing data sets. This enables a supervisor or manager to double-check and finalize their work before saving the data. In an industry where even the smallest mistakes can cost millions, this is a critical feature to have.
Investran also has productivity features that help speed up your workflow. For example, you can now open multiple tabs that allow you to work on different data areas simultaneously. In addition, if you need to enter a large volume of data, the new STEP feature (simplified transaction entry processing) makes it a seamless process.
Finally, you can expand your Investran implementation with add-on services depending on your needs. These include accounting, reporting, investor portal administration, and other as-a-service add-ons.
Investran is a crucial tool that should be in every private equity firm’s arsenal. And Lionpoint’s investran consulting service ensures that you can reap the benefits much faster.
