The cloud leverages Internet-based computing where shared services, resources and software are provided on-demand. It creates a standardized, repeatable way to scale IT services and solutions, which helps us deliver to thousands of users and keep our costs down for the customer. As a trading firm, you can focus on your core business and not worry about how to implement, maintain and receive the services you need. Amazon is probably the most universally known company leveraging the power of the cloud selling millions of products and services over the web in a secure environment.
Today’s IT professionals are being asked to manage more information, and deliver that information to their users, with ever increasing quality of service, in a timely manner. And in today’s economic climate, IT is additionally tasked with reducing budgets and deriving greater value out of their existing investments. With Aspect’s solutions, cost is greatly reduced so that capital expenditure can be converted to operational expenditure. Aspect clients can also save significantly on IT support, as the solutions are managed by our expert team of engineers with contracted support agreements that deliver expected, controlled costs and results.
Collaboration with colleagues is greatly increased through the cloud, as you’re able to create groups to share more information and work more productively. Make changes to documents that can be shared with staff. Notifications are easily sent when information is updated, removing the challenges that come with duplication. Sharing information in a system dramatically reduces email traffic and creates a needed audit trail of trade data. You can also more easily collaborate with customers. Contract confirmations can be shared electronically, scheduling can be optimized, invoicing and payments can be transmitted, etc.
