A key component to an effective infrastructure is to properly utilize the service provider community to your advantage (both existing and new to your organization). This implies having a complete understanding of the service models of each, what the potential pitfalls are with certain service providers, who is best in class in their particular field, and more importantly how to “connect the dots” with all of them so your infrastructure is sound and scalable. HC not only connects those dots, but allows you to integrate these service providers effectively into your infrastructure thus saving you time, resources and money. Fees charged and how best to negotiate them are an important aspect of the equation. It is not just about the lowest price, but more about optimizing your services for the best price. HC is adept at both and can guide you through the complexities of each fee structure with any service provider, including Prime Brokers, Administrators, Auditors, Legal counsel, Technology Vendors, Insurance Brokers and Corporate Banks.
