The Global Revenue Management Information System (GRMIS) is used by Finance/Controllers to automate the billing of Morgan Stanl ey's separately managed clients. GRMIS calculates and creates invoices based o n the Portfolio Account, Billing Contact and Fee Schedule data in AGCIS. (Asset Gathering Information System) GRMIS also includes a reporting system, search cap abilities and AR/Performance feeds which are pipelined to an Informix database. GRMIS currently serves 3 billing locations; NY, W. Conshohocken & London. It wil l be expanded to include Tokyo & Singapore. GRMIS handles multiple invoice, lett erhead and date formats based on billing/cycle/basis types and location. This i ncludes several standard and aggregate invoice formats. The next phase will incl ude multi-currency fee schedules and functionality. This system replaced several local billing systems and will set a billing standard for all of Morgan Stanley 's separately managed clients. Nov 1996 to Project Leader / Analyst Apr 1998 IBAH, Inc.
