Products
4Front have been building Finance Control solutions for the last 11 years. Each system we develop builds upon the lessons learnt from creating its ancestors. Because of the multiple iterations our techniques and use of technology have been through, our products are both stable and intuitive to use and provide immediate cost savings. They are designed to be reused in new environments through simple configuration changes rather than expensive re-programming, reducing time to maket and development costs as well as total cost of ownership.
COBRA
COBRA is a complete Financial Control solution from loading, storing and calculation through to adjustment and report delivery. 4Front have encapsulated the knowledge of what really works in a Finance Control environment into a modular framework targetted at reuse and maximum Return on Investment (ROI). COBRA has been in production supporting large scale global organisations for the last decade.
Aquila
Aquila builds on the success of COBRA to bring even greater performance and flexibility. Aquila provides a platform to allow your control function to standardise, consolidate and secure financial information creating a golden source of reference data your business can rely on. Aquila then provides an incredibly interactive user interface speeding up the reporting process through definable dashboards and reports. This then not only drives down your costs but also releases your controllers from mundane, reptitive tasks to focus on value added analysis to input to your business strategy.
Aquila in a Nutshell
Aquila is a highly performant and flexible framework for the management of Finan cial data. Its modular architecture supports multi GAAP Sub Ledger, P/(L), adjustments and reporting with a highly interactive Web interface greatly simplifying usability and deployment on a global scale.
Aquila excels at replacing in-house desktop applications to provide a secure, auditable and unified data store presenting a single version of financial truth. With its built-in business and workflow processes, best practice is assured and operational risk greatly reduced. The diagram shows Aquila's modular nature and its core functionality.
A true multi-tasking, multi-user, global system, Aquila can load data, perform calculations and provide reports to different teams simultaneously. No more locking all users out of a system while a data load takes place!
Aquila flexibility
Aquila is a scalable system and can be configured for departmental use or across entire global operations. 4Front solutions have been used to manage International Profit & Loss processing across all financial products and multiple time zones for 600 Front and Middle Office users.
Aquila is easy to deploy with a comprehensive Web browser interface allowing users to manage data loads, drill in to data views, run reports and make journal entries. Written using Ajax techniques, the Web User Interface (UI) presents a powerful yet easy to use interface which allows Finance Controllers to become productive immediately.
In addition its use of Service Orientated Architecture (SOA) means that a Web Service layer provides the flexibility to interface with other information sources and User Interfaces.
