14. Future Direction  The first step has been process improvement and joining of relationship level information  Emphasis on clarity and quality of paper delivery  Complexity / expectation from clients is increasing  The next step:  There is client demand for online / web delivery of this information  Often clients are wanting to take the data and manipulate it themselves e.g. group asset classes together; adjust periods  Clients want a choice of sources for their reporting but for it to be consistent across channel  The challenge is streamlining the process to allow near real time data presentation and maintaining consistency across channel
