ASP - Rapid, Flexible, Cost Effective
What is ASP?
Linedata's ASP (Application Service Provider) solution provides clients with access to best-of-breed software, without the hosting and infrastructure costs typically associated with fully installed software. With ASP deployment, Linedata manages and hosts the technological infrastructure at secure, specialised data centres. This frees the client from managing this aspect of their technological operations and provides them with a single point of contact for all their needs.Why ASP?
Investment management firms have witnessed an unprecedented level of change over the past five years. Thankfully, technology has continued to keep pace with these challenges. However, such access to leading edge functionality typically requires larger IT budgets, as well as more time and staff to operate them successfully.The total cost of licensing, infrastructure procurement, implementation, in-house support and maintenance is prohibitive to many, particularly smaller and medium sized firms.
The best option is to retain control and yet outsource the costly infrastructure build and maintenance requirements. This is achievable via ASP.
