DataWorks’ NeXT® Inventory Software Now Offers Software as a Service (SaaS)
DataWorks is releasing their NeXT Inventory Software over the internet in a "pay as you go" subscription licensing model to make it simpler for the consumer to download and profit from their services.
Bonita Springs, FL, February 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- DataWorks is proud to announce the release of its NeXT inventory management software in the form of Software as a Service (SaaS).
SaaS -- delivering software over the internet -- is increasingly popular for its ability to simplify deployment and reduce customer acquisition costs. It also allows developers to support many customers with a single version of a product. SaaS is also often associated with a "pay as you go" subscription licensing model.
“We are very excited about the release of NeXT as ‘Software as a Service,” said Mark Cecil, President and CEO of DataWorks, Inc. “It’s a great way to provide our inventory management software to a wider audience because of the pricing structure and simplified sales and installation processes. For many businesses, buying software is an enormous capital expense, where the product has to be sold to many people and many departments. And in today's economy, companies do not have the capital budgets they worked with 1 or 2 years ago, so with SaaS an Owner or General Manager can have the controls they need over their inventory without a large capital outlay.”
Cecil was recently overheard telling a client about NeXT. He said, “It’s big, it’s powerful and it’s ready for you -- now.”
NeXT SaaS boasts the same technology as traditional NeXT software, but is easier to fit into a budget as a monthly fee rather than a larger one-time cost. The ease of access over the internet does not require software to be purchased, installed or maintained. New updates or upgrades are made available automatically, and security, back-up, and support services are also provided, allowing users to stop stressing about their software and concentrate on their core business.
“The trend to offer Software as a Service has been the new thought process for many companies this past year. However, we believe that offering our inventory management software as a service, is unique. Since we offer a specialized product, we have a perfect solution for many potential clients who could not figure out a way to upgrade or purchase new inventory software,” said Guy Ardizoni, VP of Sales. “The combination of increasingly abundant bandwidth, improved powerful processors, and inexpensive storage is widening the choices for designing, deploying and using software.”
DataWorks’ stated benefits for using NeXT SaaS are:
No Capital Outlay
