Why managed

Six reasons institutions choose the Managed Service

Your investment team needs the analytics. Your IT team does not need another server estate. The Managed Service separates the two.

Access anywhere, any time

No dependence on an on-premise server or VPN. The platform is available wherever the team is working, on desktop or laptop, with the same data and the same templates.

Cost containment

No server hardware to buy, patch or replace, and no internal resource tied up maintaining it. The licence covers the environment as well as the software.

Flexibility and scalability

Add users, modules or data providers as the programme grows. Capacity is adjusted by AlternativeSoft, not by a procurement cycle.

Short time to production

Pre-built environments with the 500,000+ fund database, provider feeds and statistics library already loaded. Most clients are live within weeks.

24x7 availability and resilience

Round-the-clock access with managed backup and disaster recovery, so the monthly committee cycle does not depend on a server in your own building.

The complete suite, integrated

Microsoft 365 integration, Excel API report generation, Power BI deployment and the AlternativeSoft Web API, plus the MCP connector for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot.

Managed vs on-premise

What changes when AlternativeSoft runs the environment

The software is the same. What changes is who carries the infrastructure, how quickly new users and modules are added, and how the team reaches the platform when they are not at their desk.

  • Updates applied for you. New releases, data provider changes and statistics are deployed by AlternativeSoft on a managed schedule.
  • Security managed to institutional standard. Access control, encryption at rest and in transit, and logged activity, with your own data held separately from every other client.
  • One contract. Software, hosting, data feeds and support in a single annual agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

What is the AlternativeSoft Managed Service?

It is the hosted deployment of the AlternativeSoft platform. AlternativeSoft runs the servers, database, data feeds, backup and disaster recovery, and your team uses the full analytics suite from any device with no internal infrastructure to buy or maintain.

Is the software different from the on-premise version?

No. The analytics, database, reporting and due diligence modules are identical. The difference is who runs the environment, how quickly users and modules are added, and that the team can reach the platform from anywhere.

How long does deployment take?

Most clients are live within weeks. The environment is pre-built with the 500,000+ fund database, provider feeds and statistics library already loaded, so implementation is limited to importing your own holdings and setting up report templates.

How is our data kept secure?

Each client's data is held separately, with access control, encryption at rest and in transit and logged activity. Backup and disaster recovery are managed by AlternativeSoft around the clock.

Which integrations are included?

Microsoft 365 integration, Excel API report generation, Power BI deployment, the AlternativeSoft Web API and the MCP connector that lets Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot run AlternativeSoft analytics on your data.

Can we add users or modules later?

Yes. Users, modules and data providers are added by a licence change, with no hardware to procure. Capacity is adjusted by AlternativeSoft.

What does the Managed Service cost?

It is licensed annually, with software, hosting, data feeds and support in one agreement, priced by users and modules rather than by assets. A quotation is provided after a demonstration.

Can we move from on-premise to the Managed Service?

Yes. Existing on-premise clients migrate their data, templates and user setup to the hosted environment with AlternativeSoft's support, with the same software on the other side.
