The Instantis FlexSaaS™ Advantage

Easy Deployment

Traditional on-premise software can take up to a year to deploy because of the complexity of the software and the costly and time-consuming programming services and customization work required to get you up and running. In contrast, typically SaaS enterprise software is deployed in a matter of weeks.

Easy to Use and Administer

Ease of use for end-users and administrators is the key to widespread user acceptance. SaaS solutions rely more on configurability than customization to ensure that end-users have only the functionality they need to get their jobs done. Meanwhile administrators can reveal more advanced functionality as the organization and user base needs grow and mature.

Upgrades typically occur more frequently and can occur automatically compared to installed software which typically becomes outdated as over-burdened IT departments struggle to allocate upgrade resources, plan and execute software migrations and associated end-user training.

Why FlexSaaS? EnterpriseTrack takes configurability to a new level and is recognized by customers, industry analysts and observers as one of the most configurable enterprise software products on the market from both an administrator and end-user perspective.

In addition, the FlexSaaS platform is unique in the marketplace in its ability for each customer to be on its own version of the EnterpriseTrack application. While all customers leverage a shared application framework and hardware infrastructure, unlike competitive SaaS solutions, all customers do not run on a single shared application instance which can limit business flexibility. This gives Instantis the ability to make faster, major improvements to the latest application version, while not imposing changes on all customers. This means that there are no forced migrations. You can elect to upgrade based on your own schedule and need to access the latest product innovations.

This also means that for large enterprises that have unique customization requirements, this is not precluded by the FlexSaaS delivery model (i.e. one size does not fit all). And, since you control the rate of change of your PPM software instance and not the vendor, end-user training is easier to manage and less expensive to deliver.

Easy to Afford

Compared to traditional on-premise services-intensive PPM applications, SaaS deployments reduce TCO by up to 40%. Contributing factors include the fact that there is (a) no hardware to buy and install, (b) minimal internal IT intervention up front, and (c) minimal or no network or server-level administrators involvement to manage on-going operations.

And, as discussed above, you avoid the high-priced integration and customization consulting and programming expenses associated with protracted on-premise PPM implementations. Since all you need is a browser an Internet connection, risks associated with your PPM deployment are minimized.

SaaS also offers predictable annual or subscription-based pricing, which simplifies budgeting and forecasting and precludes the need to make capital investments in software. Rapid deployment combined with annual/subscription pricing (no large upfront capital expense associated with a one-time perpetual license), ensures an accelerated ROI and time to business value. This also drives SaaS vendors to relentlessly pursue customer satisfaction since the recurring revenue depends on monthly or annual renewals.
