X-ALM Cross ALM
Pricing

Three ways to adopt X-ALM, at your own pace.

We always start by seeing the software run on your data. The rest is decided afterwards, with the facts in hand.

Step 1

Evaluation

See X-ALM on your balance sheet, within days.

  • Installation on a workstation you provide, or on ours
  • Loading of an anonymised extract of your contracts, one or more products
  • A full run and a subset run, a Power BI report
  • Comparison with your current tool, deviations explained
  • Half-day debrief

Fixed fee, deducted from the licence if you go ahead.

Step 2

Licence

The complete software, per entity and per year.

  • Engine, control interface, analysis tool, for an unlimited number of workstations and runs
  • All updates within the major version
  • Complete documentation: products, indicators, architecture, user guide
  • Email support, response within two working days
  • Discounted rate from the second entity, group rate above ten entities

Quotation on request. No third-party licence, no server to pay for.

À la carte

Support and adaptation

To go faster, or further.

  • Preparation of contract files and mapping tables from your reference data
  • Calibration of your behavioural models in the engine's workbooks
  • Addition of a product or an indicator specific to your balance sheet
  • Customisation of the Power BI report
  • Training of ALM, treasury and control teams

Daily rate, quoted after scoping.

What the licence includes

Everything you need to be self-sufficient.

Xalm.Console, the calculation engine
Xalm.Web, the control interface
Xalm.PowerBI, the analysis tool and the generated Power BI project
x64 and ARM64 builds for Windows
Functional and technical documentation, user guide
Sample configuration and demo data
Updates within the major version
Email support
Number of workstations, runs, scenariosUnlimited
What you do not have to buy

The total cost is the licence.

  • No server: the engine runs on a workstation, or on an ordinary virtual machine for overnight processing.
  • No database: inputs and outputs are files, readable with your usual tools.
  • No third-party licence: Power BI Desktop, which opens the report, is free from Microsoft. A Power BI licence is only needed if you publish the report to your Power BI workspace.
  • No integration project: the contract files are the ones you already produce for your current tools, or can be derived from them.
Commitment

The licence is annual, with no automatic renewal. You keep the results, the documentation and your configurations whatever happens.

Frequently asked questions

What we are asked before signing.

Is a server or any particular infrastructure needed?

No. A Windows 10 or 11 workstation is enough: the memory needed depends on the amount of data, 32 GB recommended and 64 GB comfortable above 8 million contracts. To chain several entities overnight, an ordinary virtual machine does the job. No server component is installed.

How long does a run take?

The sample run from the guide, one entity of 2.9 million contracts, three scenarios and three hundred months, takes 15 minutes on an idle laptop and 30 minutes on a workstation saturated by other processes. Run time grows roughly in proportion to the number of entities, products and scenarios. A subset run on a single product takes a few tens of seconds.

Does our data leave the workstation?

Never. The engine, the interface and the analysis tool run locally. The web interface's server listens on the workstation itself only. There is no telemetry and there are no outbound network calls.

In what form should we supply our contracts?

Flat files, one per product and per entity: the contract's characteristics, its contractual cash flows, its step schedule. The description of each column ships with the software. Our support package can prepare these files from your reference data.

How do we know the figures are right?

The engine reproduces an industry reference model contract by contract, with a maximum deviation of the order of 10⁻¹¹, and every product family has its own parity campaign. On your data, the evaluation compares the results with those of your current tool and explains every deviation. The subset run lets you replay a single product with all its traces.

Can a product that is not in the catalogue be added?

Yes. The engine is built on an extensible product registry; two developer guides describe how to add an amortising or a non-maturity product. That is what the adaptation package is for.

Can it be used without the web interface?

Yes. The engine and the analysis tool also run unattended, in batch mode, from a saved configuration. That is the mode used for overnight production.

What if we stop?

You keep the results produced, your configurations, the documentation and the generated Power BI report. Everything is in open formats, readable with your usual tools.

A few days, an extract of your data, a report. You will know.
