Financial services firms transitioning to Investment Book of Records (IBOR) systems face complex decisions about readiness assessment and implementation strategy.

Without a structured way to evaluate their current state, organizations risk overestimating capabilities or missing critical gaps in their data infrastructure.

Challenge

Asset managers need a standardized way to evaluate their IBOR readiness across multiple dimensions including data quality, system integration, and operational maturity.

The assessment must provide actionable feedback that guides firms toward appropriate next steps based on their current maturity level.

Solution

A custom WordPress assessment tool automates IBOR readiness evaluation through a multi-page survey with weighted scoring algorithms.

The system processes responses through configurable weights to calculate maturity levels ranging from foundational to advanced implementation readiness.

Respondents receive immediate feedback with customized recommendations tailored to their specific assessment results.

Technical Implementation

• Gravity Forms Integration powers the multi-page survey with AJAX form submission for smooth transitions between assessment sections.
• Weighted Scoring Algorithm calculates readiness levels by multiplying responses against configurable weights for each question.
• Advanced Custom Fields Configuration provides an administrative interface for managing scoring weights and customizing feedback messages for each maturity level.
• Dynamic Results Display generates personalized feedback immediately upon survey completion based on calculated maturity scores.
• Custom UI Components feature numbered response options with visual state indicators and a dark-themed interface optimized for professional assessment experiences.
• Progress Tracking System displays visual indicators showing assessment completion status across multiple survey pages.
• Shortcode Implementation enables easy embedding of the assessment tool anywhere in the WordPress site via a simple shortcode.

Results

The assessment tool transforms complex IBOR readiness evaluation into an accessible self-service experience for financial services firms.

Organizations now receive data-driven insights into their current state and clear guidance on implementation priorities based on standardized maturity frameworks.
