Hosting Services AdviceAmerica has become the fastest growing financial planning software provider in large part because of its ability to deploy and configure its applications with great flexibility. Hosted deployments facilitate system upgrades, high availability and exceptional scalability. AdviceAmerica customers range from large financial institutions to small advisory firms. As a result, the company offers several service models, each with its own hosting options.
Hosted Financial Planning Software
The application service provider (ASP) model includes secure hosting at a secure data center. Redundant servers, protected by available security measures including configurable firewall architectures and managed VPN service, located within hardened facilities, make this a safe, low-maintenance and cost-effective means of ensuring optimal system performance for small or mid-size firms and institutions. All system maintenance and updates are preformed at the ASP level and then promoted to the customer's system.
For larger institutions, AdviceAmerica's software can be licensed and installed in-house and/or at a co-location facility. Licensees contract to receive system maintenance and upgrades, as well as second and third-tier support.
Flexible Licensing Options
AdviceAmerica also offers a hosted/software license option, through which a customer licenses the software, with AdviceAmerica providing secure hosting service. Particularly appropriate as an interim step for institutions building their online financial services, the hosted/software license arrangement provides maximum flexibility to pay a one-time license fee but enjoy the time-to-market and service advantage of a hosted deployment.
