Kalahari kACE for Developers

Addressing needs

Some of the challenges facing our clients today centre around speed to market and improving both market share and margin. Critical to a client's financial success is being able to turn mass amounts of data into meaningful information and develop appropriate analytics quickly. In many instances the data and analytics are situated in structured and unstructured locations throughout the enterprise and come from multiple suppliers. Clients and their users often face an overwhelming array of issues including:

. Different pricing models
. Multiple accesses to live data
. Multiple spreadsheets that are variants of a single spreadsheet
. Data access problems
. In-house applications at various stages of development and compliance
. Difficulty in administering and maintaining multiple sources of software

Traditional price discovery and modelling systems which have been typically created using spreadsheets are no longer robust enough to meet the mission critical demands of this highly competitive market sector.

kACE enables clients to create a single desktop application serving a wide variety of financial markets. kACE provides clients with an easy environment in which to enhance desktop analytics to deploy enterprise wide. An application which can handle more than 2000 live data inputs simultaneously and synthesise more than 1200 mathematical calculations in real-time.

Very powerful, very robust and very easy to use.

In addition to default analytics, data sources and displays kACE provides facilities to incorporate other 3rd party libraries, as well as in-house data sources, and channels these into a multitude of front-end screens.

What motivates clients the most when using kACE is flexibility and its ease-of-use. kACE enables users the complete freedom to change data sources, mathematical structures and display functionality using our unique CLICK. DRAG. DROP. DONE! graphical user interface.
