The Asset Allocation Suite can be used in a variety of computer formats: including Microsoft Excel, web service, and an Applications Programming Interface. Whether you want to use the Asset Allocation Suite for quarterly rebalancing of a small number of high value portfolios or for large scale portfolio alerts, the ideal interface between the Asset Allocation Suite and your business can be developed.
Microsoft Excel
Our most popular option binds New Frontier’s technologies directly into Microsoft Excel. Excel is rich in mathematical and technical capabilities that are not easily duplicated but are very familiar to many financial professionals. Both the inputs and the results are stored and displayed locally. The built-in charts, graphs and tables are customizable. The built-in reporting capabilities transfer these charts to Microsoft Word. For firms with a small number of users, New Frontier’s Excel interface is the best means of quickly deploying New Frontier technology.
New Frontier uses XML for data storage and transfer, in addition to employing COM Addin technology for data manipulation, structure, and upgrade compatibility. Users benefit from a fully functional and intuitive interface specifically designed for the application.
Web Services
New Frontier packages its technology for use as a Web Service, a standard method for distributed computing. In this environment, New Frontier technology runs on a Web application server and is invoked via data sent as XML-based messages. The message format is the integration standard.
New Frontier’s Web Services may be called from desktop, server-based and web-based applications. Because the Web Service has no particular knowledge of specific client applications and can support all of them simultaneously, the Web Service has extraordinary flexibility and scalability. The Web Service is most appropriate for customized distributed applications supporting a larger number of users.
Custom API
NFA first generates our technology as Windows DLLs or Linux/Unix shared libraries. New Frontier offers a C/C++ Application Programming Interface (API). The API can be bound into a custom application intended for desktop or server-based use. The New Frontier API may be most appropriate for legacy applications requiring new functionality.
New Frontier’s technology is suitable for the most demanding custom or specialized applications as well as high-volume production applications. For more details, please contact us.
