In the field of performance measurement the goal is to evaluate how good each investment decision is. This is often a daily process, to enable management to adjust their decisions.

In order to generate the required reports, large transaction, position and market-data files need to be processed. The main challenge is to do this fast enough, so the reports are delivered on time. Spirit is designed for this main challenge in performance measurement. To guarantee quick report delivery Spirit uses a state-of-the-art algorithm to minimize the calculation time needed.

The process of generating performance measurement reports is more than only the calculation of the figures. The process consists of the maintenance of static data, managing the quality and delivery of market and position data. Spirit supports this in an excellent manner to optimize the quality and timelines for the delivered reports. These Spirit reports allow the user to (slice and dice and) drill down through the different hierarchies to easily find the needed figures.
