What is SaaS?

Software as a Service (SaaS)

SaaS is IA's business model, where our risk management suite of analytics is hosted as a Service and provided to our clients across a secure Internet connection. The similarity with the ASP model ends there, because SaaS includes a significant value by not only hosting the technology, but also maintaining and running it.  The Service component of SaaS is as important as the Software component -- both are necessary, one without the other is not sufficient.

IA's Service includes collecting and loading the portfolio details each day - whether that's position level, summary level or just NAVs and returns.  We also scrub the data using our automated tools, and examine the results for consistency and accuracy.  We manage all of the data exchange, the collection of market data, the conversions between currencies and timeframes so you don't have to.

Risk analysis Software is only as good as the data you use, so IA makes sure that our clients have reliable and useful information - that's Service.
