Cluttons Private Finance - www.cluttons.com
Cluttons Private Finance are an independent mortgage broking business committed to providing a personal and efficient service. They believe in
meeting their clients needs to ensure tailored and impartial advice is given. Their service is designed to make financing your property painless
and hassle free, leaving you to do the things you enjoy.
Setup in 2004, Cluttons Private Finance wanted to take advantage of advanced technology to assess the full range of mortgage solutions
available in order to ensure that the most appropriate loan is hand-picked to match your individual circumstances. They knew that to implement
an IT Infrastrucutre that would privide the technology base they needed would be a complicated and costly project.
Whilst working to identify their core Business Application, they began speaking with PTLGateway about the possibility of having their entire IT
Service hosted, for a minimal setup cost and then a regular monthly per user charge, they were up and running within a matter of a couple of
weeks. Since their inception in 2004, they have been using a fully hosted Virtual Desktop, which can be accessed from any of the Cluttons offices
or from the advisers and consultants homes, or even when they are on holiday!
Director, James Rodea, said "When we started this business, we wanted all the good things about IT that every company wants, a fast
implementation, state of the art technology, secure, reliable, performant and cost effective systems. Implementing a solution to meet all those
criteria would have taken quite some time, an initially high cost to implement, and varying ongoing costs to administer and maintain.
"By hosting our IT Systems with PTLGateway, we have achieved all our goals at a low startup cost and a known and budgetable ongoing monthly
cost per user. On top of all that, the ease of accessibility and the fact that we can access our systems from anywhere at any time delivers an
increase in productivity for all our consultants"
Nigel Smee, Technical Director at PTLGateway said "Cluttons Private Finance were a perfect example of how the ASP model can provide a
startup company with a higher quality IT Solution at a much lower cost than they could achieve in a traditional Client Server locally implemented
and owned solution, by hosting themselves with PTLGateway, they get access to the latest and best applications, at a fixed per user cost, without
having to worry about the ongoing and varying costs and administrative requirements, they can concentrate on their business."
