Delivering software over the web is a fairly new concept in the software world. One of the concerns we hear frequently is moving from a "buy one-time" traditional software product to purchasing a web product as a monthly service. Purchasing a service has many advantages over traditional software "ownership" that end up making technology purchases cheaper, faster, more flexible and easier. Lower Your Purchase Cost - Buying a typical software product means you end up paying a large amount up front to buy the product and then upgrade every few years. With a web-based product, you can stretch the cost of the product out over time, preserving valuable cash and not paying any interest that you may encounter with a typical product. Faster Deployment - Since there is nothing to install on any computer, you can be up and running in minutes rather than hours or days with a typical installable software application. Lower Support Costs - With a web based product, you can dramatically lower your costs for support and maintenance over a traditional software products. This means your organization can focus on its "core competency" rather than implementing and maintaining hardware, software, help desk, and other typical IT issues. Guaranteed "Up Time" - Web-based solutions can provide this guarantee because they invest in high-end hardware and operating environments to ensure your application is running and available 24/7. You never have to worry about backups, system crashes, or lost data. Global Accessibility - With a web-based system, your data is always available anywhere you have a web connection. This gives you the flexibility to use your product how you see fit anywhere you need it. Unlimited Scalability - As you grow, your web service grows with you without any service interruptions. All you need is an internet connection. Operating System Independence - No matter if you're Mac or PC based, you can access your service through any standards-compliant web browser.
