The Right Bridge architecture combines Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Software as a Service (SaaS) enabling robust, agile and rapid consumption for sales and service representatives. The intersection of these evolving technologies has profound effects on the way in which IT systems are deployed and managed.

Software as a Service (SaaS) is an on-demand software delivery model where the complexities of installed software disappears (or is abstracted away) from the client institution. With no on premise software to install and no integration complexities to expose, the SaaS model allows for rapid setup and consumption. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an agile distributed computing model, allowing for rapid modeling of solutions composed of various flexible parts. SOA provides the configuration of custom feature sets meeting individual needs of the consuming institution without costly custom development.

The Right Bridge delivery model provisions access over the internet in a one-to-many model similar to a utility on a pay-as-you-go or subscription basis. This model allows institutions to procure solutions rapidly, without costly IT involvement, avoiding on-premise installations and management overhead.

The benefits of the Right Bridge delivery model include:

• Flexibility and Agility: Market pressures, mergers, acquisitions or reorganizations, are accommodated through greater flexibility to change and modify solutions to meet rapid changing demands, due to the absence of on-premise software overhead.
• Faster time-to-value: RightBridge minimizes software implementation windows, accelerating the time that organizations can begin consuming solutions.
• Competitive differentiation: The flexible SOA componentry of RightBridge provides wealth managers with flexible solutions to compete in their markets, through delivering new products to market quickly, address new regulatory issues, and share data and processes across the enterprise.
• Improved cost management: As RightBridge is software on-demand, the capital investment is reduced to monthly subscriptions, mapping more closely to the business model of the firm.
