Software as a Service (SaaS) ERP Software

Software as a Service or SaaS offerings are ERP software packages deployed through an internet-based connection. Typically, these packages are hosted by the software vendor or a third party vendor. Users of the ERP software access the SaaS-based system through what is commonly referred to as an on demand service offering.

TGI’s Enterprise 21 ERP software is available through either a conventional purchase of licenses or through an SaaS-based model.

Why Should a Company Consider an SaaS Based ERP Solution?

More and more small and midsize companies are adopting the Software as a Service model because it provides the same superior functionality of Enterprise 21’s onsite model, yet eliminates the need for any capital investment in servers, software licenses, and/or backup facilities. This methodology also significantly reduces the need for on-site technical staff, making it the perfect solution for small businesses or start-up companies.

This approach to ERP software acquisition and operation is a great alternative to buying, staging, testing, and maintaining your own in-house software and server installation. It allows you to purchase only what you need in a convenient and cost-effective manner. The software is also highly scalable and configurable to meet the specific needs of your organization.

In addition to accessing best breed of ERP software, your company data is hosted in a modern data center that utilizes redundant power supplies, redundant air conditioning, and redundant network connections. The facility is monitored 24/7 to ensure maximum network and server availability.

Finally, an undeniable advantage of the SaaS model is the functional offering provided without the need of an internal technical department for project planning, execution, or operational support. This provides fast deployment, near 100% uptime, and support for a single office or multiple offices without any increase in technical support staff. Designed for quick acquisition and rapid system implementation, the Enterprise 21 SaaS model offers the best of both worlds. It provides industry leading software functionality that is both economical to acquire and cost effective to maintain in daily business operations.

What Makes Enterprise 21’s SaaS Model Different?

Enterprise 21 is what is referred to as “multi-instance SaaS”. This means a company running Enterprise 21 in a Software as a Service model is not required to share the software or configuration options with other users. Enterprise 21 SaaS customers are free to configure and customize the software as needed to meet their own unique business processes.

In addition, Enterprise 21 customers may move from an SaaS model to an onsite deployment of Enterprise 21 at any time without penalty. And in this process, any configuration or customizations to Enterprise 21 will be preserved.
