Web-Based Solutions Provide Unlimited
Cost Savings & Benefits

Don’t be fooled by today’s software companies who have been around for a number of years with no vision for becoming accessible on the Web. To catch up with today’s standards and business requirements, they’re simply putting a front-end on their same-old-software package, throwing it online — and calling it On-Demand, or Web-based. Nothing could be further from the truth. These systems are actually Web-enabled lacking the scalability, speed, agility, cost benefits, business value and vision of a true Web-based, On-Demand, Software as a Service (SaaS) system. Conventional application software simply isn’t built for the On-Demand SaaS model. These same companies have also re-engineered their costs to sell you a subscription or service — and what you’ll get is a much slower, less flexible and more expensive system than a true SaaS platform like Aspect Enterprise Solution’s built from the ground up.

Aspect Enterprise Solutions are now deployed in 88 countries using the lowest total cost of ownership (TOC) paradigm available: Saas.

This means Aspect hosts its applications on its own premises, provides system administration, maintenance, and monitoring. Everything is fully Web-based. This option is quick to deploy: a new company can go on-line at any moment with AspectDSC and Aspect TradeFlo applications; and it can take just a matter of weeks to configure and deploy AspectETRM for a new client depending on specific requirements.

Many companies are moving in this direction, and away from building systems and employing large IT teams to maintain everything. They want to focus their capital and resources on their core business. Aspect offers a no-risk solution — with no up front capital investments. The costs are predictable and controlled through subscription-based pricing which allows you to add and subtract as many users as you want — and to take advantage of multiple-licensing discounts for global access.

Here are just some of the benefits of a Web-based, SaaS approach:

  • Reduce or eliminate hardware, software installations and system administration expenses.
  • Lower infrastructure and maintenance expenses are lower than traditional client-server solutions.
  • Incrementally build an integrated enterprise network one project at a time.
  • Embrace standards-based solutions that eliminate the high cost of being "locked in" to a proprietary vendor or application.
  • Leverage scalability and flexibility to keep up with changing business requirements.
  • Integrate easily with external systems and synchronize data, such as trades and market prices between Aspect applications and other systems.
