One key element that determines pricing is client infrastructure preference. Tikker's automation is delivered via virtual processing agents that can be hosted either within your own cloud environment or fully by Tikker - the preferred approach is agreed during the scoping phase.

• Client-hosted agents keep the processing of your data, and investment platform interactions, within your own infrastructure, an approach which suits firms with specific data locality or IT governance requirements.

• Tikker-hosted agents offer faster onboarding with no internal provisioning needed.

In either case, Tikker takes responsibility for the ongoing management of these agents - including security patching, container maintenance and real-time monitoring.

Enterprise clients have access to additional hosting options, including single-tenant dedicated infrastructure. This provides a fully isolated environment with increased scalability for firms with very high volumes or enhanced requirements around data segregation or regulatory compliance. Details are available on request.
