"Technology
is important to all aspects of a money management firm's operations.
But we have seen its role in performance measurement grow significantly
over the years as the performance measurement department's role has
evolved. That's why we wanted to re-address this very important subject
in this year's survey" said David Spaulding, President of The
Spaulding Group, Inc. "Technology has become the backbone of
successful performance departments. Clients continue to grow in sophistication
and demand. The technology has had to keep up with these demands.
We want to look at what performance teams are doing to keep up with
this fast-paced environment."
