Software as a Service (SaaS)

With the rentalresult SaaS option, we combine our premier Rental Industry ERP package with the Amazon EC2 virtual hardware and operating system platform to provide our customers with a single solution. The solution is delivered complete for a simple monthly fee.

Why choose SaaS?

• Lower startup costs

Because customers do not have to purchase hardware or software, there is no large upfront costs for these components. Instead, hardware and software is delivered for a reasonable monthly fee and charged as the solution is used. This significantly reduced the initial investment.

• Lower time to implement
Much of the initial time in a traditional software implementation project is spent in readying the data center, selecting the right hardware, installing the software, and tuning the technology. With our SaaS option, the data center, hardware, and software configuration is already handled leaving our customers to focus all of their implementation time on business driven tasks.

• Reduction in total cost of ownership
Without the need for in-house hardware and in-house software, there is no longer a requirement for data center personnel to manage the solution. This means now hiring of additional people to manage the technology and your existing staff can continue to focus on running the business and focus on how to apply the solution in new ways.

Amazon Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2)

Amazon released its first version of EC2 in 2006. Four years later, Amazon EC2 is known as the premier virtual server provider available today. Through this offering, Amazon has taken its data center expertise and made it available to the masses. This means performance, uptime, security and disaster recovery is in the hands of a company who has been counting on these features since the launch of Amazon.com 15 years ago.

Why Amazon EC2?

• Internet based data center expertise since 1995.
• 99.95% guaranteed up time commitment.
• High level of security to keep each customer’s data isolated and protected from unauthorized access.
• Flexible options.
