Securities Information Systems
Presenting the complex world of mutual funds, stocks, and bonds to the investing public and financial advisors poses challenges to financial services companies. Potential customers want to know how well your products have performed, what investment services and strategies you offer, and how they can buy. A good web site that reflects the constantly changing statistics and information you present to the world can both help you increase your market share and give your customers more confidence in your company. We have years of experience in designing and maintaining securities information systems that both keep current customers informed and attract new customers. For instance, we develop and maintain one web site for a customer that tracks $9 billion in mutual funds, available in English, German, Italian, and Spanish, with automated daily price updates, a comprehensive content management system, integration with two major financial statistics providers, and a private online service for financial advisors.
Internationalization and Localization
In the global marketplace, you must reach out to people in their own language. When your web site is available to the world in more than one language, it shows the world that your company does more for its customers. However, creating and maintaining these multi-lingual sites is more challenging than producing a site in just one language. We can help guide you through the process of making your site available in multiple languages, and keeping it current in every language as the site evolves over time. Our experience in using Java, XML, and relational databases to handle internationalization, localization, and translation activities can keep you ahead of your competitors.
Private Online Services
Not all web sites are available to the general public - many organizations need to create private online services to meet the needs of their customers, employees, or business partners. We can help you design and build a system with appropriate security controls to meet your needs, with a fully web-based user management system. Such a system can help you track what the registered users on your system are doing, and what parts of your system are the most (and least) popular. Whatever the scope of you security needs, from usernames and passwords to hardware security tokens and cryptographic certificates, we can help you build a first-class system.
Database-Driven Web Systems
Creating a web system more complex than a simple text brochure requires a stable, robust database system to manage the underlying data. Our experience in collecting, organizing, and transforming data into information-rich web sites can help you present timely information to your customers. PKR has the ability to manage several decades' worth of fund price and performance data, article and publication data, and user data. Imagine that you need to present prices for your products in real time in multiple currencies - we can help with these sorts of problems.
Content Management Systems
Your web site is only as good as the most current and relevant information on it. However, updating complex HTML pages often takes skill, training, and direct access to the server where the page resides. In complex data-driven sites, updating your site may be even more challenging. Using a content management system makes it easy for people without in-depth knowledge of HTML or programming to update and add to web sites. For example, you might cut and paste plain text into an article editor, and have your article appear on the front page of your site without having to modify the code for the front page. You might also use your system to distribute, track and archive publications in PDF format. Articles and PDF publications can then be archived and indexed for easy retrieval. Every complex Internet system we design has a built-in content management system. In some cases, our clients use these tools directly, giving them complete control and instant results when they need to update their sites. In other cases, our clients contract with us to perform routine maintenance and updates, and our team performs any preliminary data conversion and preparation needed before updating the site
Standards-Based Software Development
Our software development efforts rely on open standards and platforms, both to save our customers money, and to ensure that what we build today will be maintainable for many years to come. We use mature open-source software, such as Linux, Apache, and PostgreSQL, to develop and deploy our solutions. By creating sites that comply with web standards, we give our customers a superior product. Our expertise in standard software modeling and estimation techniques helps us predict how much a project will cost and how long it will take. Our quality assurance testing is meticulous, and any issues we discover are logged and tracked internally. Although we are proficient with a diverse mixture of programming languages and tools, Java lies at the core of our efforts, making our software inherently compatible with many different operating systems and production environments. Our core programming staff is Java Programmer Certified.
Hosting and Support Services
To support and complement our software development and content management services, we provide a broad range of telecommunications and system management services. We provide web hosting services, telecommunications provisioning, electronic mail management systems, system administration services, data conversion and integration services, and web statistics generation and analysis.
Our goal is to keep our customers satisfied by applying our skills and talents to their problems. Our clients count on us to provide rock-solid solutions. We succeed not only because of our expertise, but also because we are responsive to customer concerns. We promise to provide every client with the solutions best suited to their needs.
