Cloud Computing
IT is often a challenging factor for an SME, especially when it comes to costs. Cloud computing opens a complete new world of possibilities, allowing enterprises to plan better their technology needs and pay only for what they use. The cloud is more than just a technology: it is an approach that is changing the way we consume IT, turning it in a service rather than an asset. At Sofistar we can analyze your framework and suggest the appropriate software, data access and storage services, with the aim of
- increasing security
- increasing flexibility
- reducing overall cost

Business Process Automation
Business process automation is one of the recurrent mantras of our work. We consider it fundamental to the control of operational risk and efficiency improvements.
Our experience is that business processes often benefit from an external, unbiased analysis. Yet more value can be added by providing analysis that encompasses multiple business units and software platforms. This approach often reveals that the most inefficient processes are found in areas that lack definition and are poorly specified.
Our broad experience and strong technology exposure allows us to analyze, propose and implement solutions that integrate multiple technologies and business functions, leading to better engineered processes.
An example of how this can be achieved is given by our proprietary TRADE platform which allows you to integrate in a single automated workflow, different tasks, performed using different technologies such as Excel, Java software products, .NEt software products, Phyton processes, Matlab scripts and many more.
Data Analysis
Although sometimes forgotten or taken for granted, good quality data is fundamental for the achievement of superior results in any business. The consolidation of data from multiple sources requires understanding of its meaning. It is a delicate task that necessitates technical skills and precision. We believe that a disciplined approach to data capturing and manipulation can create a real business advantage and have a direct impact on on profitability.
At Sofistar we invest a considerable amount of time in understanding the use our clients make of data and the way they capture it. We clean and organize data sets to be used for trade simulation, back testing, transaction analysis, portfolio valuation and MIS.
