Opus Nebula: a great body of work in the cloud

With over 70 years of experience between them in the investment management industry, the founding directors Andrew Sherlock and Shawn Obery had previously worked for a number of tier-one investment firms, and now lead the growing team of experts at Opus Nebula. Andrew is the client reporting domain expert and Shawn the IT technical guru. The founders identified a number of key industry trends that they believed would change the shape of the investment management industry.

They identified long term and relentless downward pressure on investment management fees and revenues, and therefore long term challenges to the profitability and sustainability of investment firms.

Additionally, they noticed increasing demands from clients wanting improved levels of reporting, greater personalisation of reports, more frequent and more detailed reports, and shorter delivery timeframes. Finally, they identified investment firms needed to manage and reduce their business risks and deliver solutions and change more quickly – the pace of change in the industry was such that long term projects may fail to deliver the required benefits, because the requirements had moved on by the time the project delivered.

Whilst these are general industry pressures, Shawn and Andrew specialise in client and fund reporting, and as such devised and created a cloud-based client reporting solution that incorporates their vast knowledge and experience, and addresses all of the identified industry challenges – thus Opus Nebula was formed in 2014 and the team set about defining and building Reporting as a Service®.

The first iteration of Reporting as a Service® was launched in late 2015. Since the launch there have been formal updates every quarter to ensure the solution remains flexible, scalable and efficient – and perfectly aligned to our clients’ requirements and the industry challenges.

As well as delivering a world-class reporting platform, we place equal importance on the quality of service we provide to every client. Our objective is to become a genuine extension of each client’s team – responsive, accountable, and fully invested in their success.

We aim to deliver a level of service that makes every client feel they are our only client. We would encourage you to speak with any of our clients about the standard of support, commitment, and partnership they experience from the Opus Nebula team.
