Core QS Financail Design Philosophy
Core QSF subsystems utilise a plug-and-play rule-based approach so in addition to software provided by QSF, clients can use proprietary or other third-party software modules. These extend the system without the need to reveal source code to QSF even if QSF personnel are helping with consultancy, extensions or integration.
QSF provides design and implementation care to supply modules with extreme scalability and resilience. This includes massive parallelism where needed, or self-healing in order to protect mission-critical systems for unit failures.
