I would like to use an ASP to provide
enterprise-wide functionality throughout my company
incremental functionality to improve service or efficiency in particular areas |
The most important advantages of ASP technology are:
(please rank in order of importance: 1=most important) |
| Access to advanced technology used by larger firms |
| Access to advanced technology without internal IT buildup |
| Ability to consolidate global operations without global IT infrastructure |
| Lower costs |
| Lack of implementation risk |
| Predictability of costs |
ASP services that interest me include:
|
Trade processing
trade capture
real-time pricing
real-time limit checking
trade validation
confirmations and order matching
Valuation
real-time rates
access to other pricing models
To provide for these services, I expect to seek
a single vendor source
multiple vendors
|
Risk management
sensitivity analysis
what-if reports
RAROC for capital utilization
regulatory reports
market limits and compliance
Operational efficiency
straight-through processing
exception management
workflow monitoring |
2. Implementation and Support |
I would expect implementation to take
Less than 1 week
Less than 1 month
Less than 3 months |
I would expect implementation to be done
remotely (via the web)
on-site |
I would expect training media to be
on-line
on-line with shadowing capability
paper-based
on-site |
3. Security |
My most important security concerns are:
(please rank in order of importance: 1=most important) |
| unauthorized users accessing my network/system |
| unauthorized users accessing my data |
| backup data security |
| comingling of data with data from other firms |
How secure do you consider ASPs relative to an in-house solution:
(please rate each on a scale of 1-10, with 1 as most secure) |
| In house |
| ASP |
How much trouble are you willing to go through to access the system?
Logon requires passwords only
Logon requires a password and smart card
Logon requires password and data from a digital key fob |
4. Reliability |
My in-house system goes down:
0 times a month
1 time a month
2-5 times a month
more often
|
An acceptable level of reliability for an ASP system is:
0 downtimes a month
1 downtime a month
2 downtimes a month
5 downtimes a month
10 downtimes a month |
I require the ability to customize:
models
interfaces |
I prefer pricing:
by transaction
by concurrent seat
fixed fee per month |
