Easy to deploy – Most customers only need a web browser and an Internet connection. Those who choose to deploy ProjectPartner over a corporate intranet can install the application and platform licenses on a server. Either way, there’s nothing to install on users’ PCs.
Easy to support – On-Demand customers always access the latest version, and On-Premise customers can install updates on their server. So improvements to ProjectPartner are available to all users, and any support issues will be minor ones based around network performance.
Access anytime, anywhere – Over the Internet or a VPN, you can access ProjectPartner at the office, at home, and on the road.
Manageable cost – ProjectPartner works with your existing infrastructure, and the subscription pricing means that it requires no capital expenditure.
Scalable – You can add or remove ProjectPartner subscriptions as your needs dictate. There’s no need to invest in under-utilized software or ration over-subscribed licensing.
Platform-independent – Windows at head office, Linux at another site, Macs at home… all ProjectPartner users enjoy the same functionality.

What’s software-as-a-service (SaaS)?

Most of the software you use has to be installed on each user’s computer, creating support issues and complicating hardware and software upgrades. And, because workgroup tools are – by their very nature – designed to be used by a number of people, all users would need very similar equipment.

By moving the burden away from your infrastructure and deploying the application through a standard web browser, it’s easy to implement in any environment. Users only need their preferred browser and Internet or intranet access.

Our subscription options give you the choice of installing ProjectPartner on your internal servers and delivering it to users over your intranet, or accessing it from our servers over the Internet. There’s no trade-off of security for convenience; you choose the more appropriate method for your situation. For more information, see the Implementation Options page on this website.

Simple SaaS Explanation

The experts speak

IDC

Studies by IDC demonstrate that SaaS is becoming more widely accepted by business as a sensible way to implement enterprise software. The success of accounting, CRM and general office (email, wordprocessing, spreadsheets, etc.) applications offered in the SaaS environment show that you can be confident in subscribing to the secure ProjectPartner web-based service.

Software & Information Industry Association

“According to Gartner, a global IT research firm, the annual cost to own and manage software applications can be up to four times the cost of the initial purchase. As a result, companies end up spending more than 75% of their total IT budget just on maintaining and running existing systems and software infrastructure. With the introduction of computers, companies have accepted this as a cost of doing business. The number of software applications that a company may need are infinite. The resources to operate these applications however are finite.

“The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revolution allows companies to subscribe to software applications and outsource operating the back-end infrastructure to the SaaS vendor. In most cases, the SaaS vendor can do this much more cost effectively; providing overall cost savings for the company. As a result, companies can spread their IT budget across many more applications to support and grow their business operations which will in turn contribute to the bottom line.”
