Next Generation
Run-speeds are exceptionally fast: Mo.net can value 1 million policies in just 60 seconds n Frustrated by the time it takes for your reporting processes to run? Mo.net enhances the power of 64-bit technology, improving run speeds and providing access to far greater memory resources which together give you the ability to assess your company’s true position and future needs much more quickly. Mo.net has been built from the ground up on Microsoft’s .NET development platform. Microsoft are dedicated to making .NET the most powerful and productive development environment, and all this power is available to Mo.net users. Mo.net suffers none of the legacy issues that plague many other systems. Should you need to run a block of business consisting of hundreds of thousands or even millions of policies, Mo.net can leverage its power over multiple computers and can exploit the multi-core processors that are nowadays commonplace. Together with its use of 64-bit technology, this can substantially reduce run-times.
Mo.net’s flexibility means that requirements such as analysing the change in your statutory valuation results or ICA can be set up with just a few simple lines of easy-toread code. Unlike other software packages, you don’t need to set up and check a multitude of bases or make sweeping assumptions - Mo.net delivers fast and accurate results with minimal effort. Mo.net’s unique ability to link, group and re-use code results in code that is simple, easy to understand, highly efficient and elegant. Not only does this reduce run times, but having code that more people understand reduces operational risk by reducing the likelihood of mistakes. Mo.net Interfaces (dlls) can be generated within Mo.net that enable self-standing computational functionality (eg new business quotations) for use by other parts of your business that don’t want or need Mo.net installed on their desktops.
Easy to use
Leverage your team’s skills and knowledge to make the most of Mo.net’s easy-to-use platform n Mo.net code is written in Visual Basic so, if you are familiar with writing macros in Excel, you can dive straight into Mo.net without having to learn a new language or complex notations. Learning how to use Mo.net provides employees with a transferable skill that they will appreciate learning, rather than being tied to one of the other software packages. New graduates are more likely to have VB skills than any other, so why not play to that advantage rather than wasting time re-training? As well as being a fully stand-alone robust financial modelling giant, Mo.net has unparalleled Microsoft compatibility: n n n n Inputs may be stored within Access, Excel or .txt files; Parameters may be stored within Access, Excel or .txt files; Results may be summarised quickly and easily within Mo.net’s Excel Reporting add-ins; You can even run advanced financial projections (and vary underlying inputs and parameters) from within Excel without even having to open Mo.net.
