Use a Research Management Solution

What is the idea?

Use a Research Management Solution (RMS) to track the due diligence performed by the government agencies tasked with distributing stimulus funds. An RMS can systematically capture and organize the unstructured information required for the analysis of stimulus investments. RMS has been successfully adopted by money managers all over the globe as a way to create an open and transparent collaboration among analysts, power better choices for decision-makers, and create a structured audit trail of analysis.

Why is it important?

99% of the world's information is unstructured: email correspondence, documents, spreadsheets, slide decks. While quantitative analysis is critical, many of the most important decisions are driven by human discourse – in words not just numbers. Research Management Solutions transform the cacophony of disparate email inboxes and shared drives into a structured database shared in real time across global organizations. To provide complete transparency for the public, the agencies responsible for application of stimulus funds need to track their internal assessments. These assessments will include large bodies of correspondence and prose analysis. Research Management Solutions can transform the potentially chaotic investment research process into a coherent, organized, and agency-wide effort.
