Attenda - certainty / confidence / agility

Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) can derive significant benefit from moving to our Software as a Service (SaaS) hosted service for delivery of their software. You may be considering taking your SaaS solution to market alongside your traditional on-premise deployment model, or you could be a start up ISV looking to break into a new market with a SaaS offering.

Our SaaS hosted solution provides you with many business benefits:

  • Reassurance of security - your software will be hosted in line with our industry certifications and accreditations – ISO 9001, ISO 20000 & ISO 27001, providing your prospective clients with the confidence and reassurance of security for their business critical applications and data.

  • A shortened and simpler sales cycle - a SaaS delivery model allows you to sell direct to the business user - your clients will not have to implement any hardware, meaning that their IT team does not need to be involved in the decision making process or commit to delivery timescales. Our hosted proof-of-concept environment enables you to deploy the solution rapidly to demonstrate the software and to gain user acceptance.

  • Increased availability – We can provide an SLA of up to 99.9%, measured at application rather than hardware level.

Our SaaS hosted solution also provides you with significant operational and support benefits:

 

  • Ease of handling new releases - SaaS provides a single infrastructure and application architecture to be managed and upgraded, meaning that only a single version of the application is running. By adopting a development environment that mirrors production you can ensure that new releases are deployed smoothly.

  • Lower support costs - our proactive infrastructure and application monitoring ensures that you know your software is unavailable often before your users do. This avoids the cost and time in identifying that the underlying problem in fact relates to the infrastructure.

  • Rapid innovation - a hosted solution allows you to track end-user feature adoption immediately and react to maximise the opportunity, ahead of your competition.

  • Integrated development and delivery - a single platform ensures the most current version and all new features are potentially available for all users immediately, thereby removing the need to visit the client site to upgrade their 'on-premise' infrastructure.

 

  • Client comment
    • "Our partnership with Attenda has removed the challenge of building our own infrastructure for SaaS, minimising our upfront infrastructure investment, reducing our total cost of ownership and leveraging the economies of scale that are shared across Attenda's entire client base."
