User Experience
Driving productivity and competitiveness.
Powerful software capabilities and tools deliver maximum value only when they are highly automated and easy to use. Allegro solves customers’ real-world business challenges by doing exactly that.
Allegro solutions and implementation teams focus on the user experience: how people in your organization — from trading professionals and accounting staff to the CEO — must interact through systems, information and business processes to excel at their work and accomplish their business mission.
Here are some of the ways Allegro leads the industry to deliver an unprecedented user experience.
Real-time data
Markets are dynamic. Trading and risk management
professionals need real-time information. Applications can access streaming
market data, real-time pricing services and other dynamic resources most readily
when the enabling technology, Web serivces, is built in — not added
on. Only Allegro is built from the ground up on XML Web services. Therefore
this technology is native to every Allegro application, and real-time data
capabilities are pervasive throughout Allegro solutions.
With real-time data, users become more productive and make better-optimized decisions. They gain the clearest, most accurate views of forward market factors — critical to assessing risks and opportunities in complex markets under varying conditions and constraints.
Collaboration
Users collaborate most effectively when they
can see the same information and effortlessly share all documentation. It makes
the enterprise more efficient, users more productive, and helps everyone work
together to achieve the business mission.
Further, collaboration helps ensure informed, coordinated decision making. Decisions are optimized collectively, not just in isolation, dramatically improving decision quality and thus competitiveness.
Powerful collaboration tools and capabilities are built right in to Allegro solutions, not added on. That’s because all related documents, correspondence, tasks, messaging and remarks can be automatically assciated with any transaction. There’s no searching for paperwork. Everything is available to any authorized user at any time.
Decision process
Allegro applications support users throughout
the decision process, from evaluating a deal to committing to a disposition.
Everything’s streamlined in integrated,
interactive displays tailored to users’ unique roles and requirements.
Using automated Allegro high performance tools, users can view current position, quantity and value; determine all possible decisions that contribute to optimizing the transaction; and calculate the relative and absolute value of each decision.
Powerful simulation tools let users evaluate outcomes under diiferent scenarios, view all outcomes ranked by value and take immediate action by executing on the optimal decision.
Visual methods
Visual representations of data contribute
to quick understanding and better-optimized decisions. Allegro leads the industry
in placing meaningful visual displays in users’ hands. For example:
- Traders and risk managers can leverage rapid, real-time information
and react faster when analytical results are displayed in the form of dynamic
3D graphics — enabling an intuitive grasp of minute-by-minute trading
activity against positions and potential dispositions within the context
of a whole portfolio.
- With a single mouse-click, schedulers, traders and managers can display storage volumes and transfer points on maps, making it easier to optimize physical positions and deliveries.
