On-demand software or Software as a Service (SaaS) is the antidote to many of the high setup costs, high hardware / software costs and high maintenance costs associated with the traditional "on- premises" software model. Furthermore, since abacusBPM is focused on life-sciences industry, we take away the validation and compliance headaches of the traditional "on-premises" software model as well!

In a typical organization, the information technology (IT) budget is spent in three broad areas:

• Software: The actual programs and data that the organization uses for computing and information processing.
• Hardware: The desktop computers, servers, networking components, and mobile devices that provide users with access to the software.
• Professional Services: The people and institutions that ensure the continued validation status, operation and availability of the system, including technical support staff, consultants, and vendor representatives.

Of these three, it is the software that is most directly involved in information management, which is the ultimate goal of any IT organization. Hardware and professional services, though vital and important components of the IT environment, are properly considered means to an end, in that they make it possible for the software to produce the desired end result of effective information management.

In an organization relying chiefly on the abacusBPM SaaS model, the IT budget allocation is significantly reduced since the organization does not pay for the Hardware or Professional Services. Additionally, the software costs are also reduced, since the abacusBPM SaaS model is more cost effective than traditional license based "on-premises" software. To top it off, abacusBPM SaaS is a pay-as-you-go service that empowers customers to ONLY pay for their usage needs and not any more!

In this model, abacusBPM hosts critical applications and associated data on central servers at our validated data center, and we support the hardware and software with a dedicated support staff. This relieves the customer from the responsibility for supporting the software, and for purchasing and maintaining server hardware for it.

This model is more efficient because of the economies of scale. abacusBPM with multiple customers subscribing to a single, centrally-hosted software service enables us to serve all of our customers in a consolidated load balanced environment. This represents a substantial savings over the traditional model.

Moreover, applications delivered over the Web or through smart clients place significantly less demand on a desktop computer than traditional locally-installed applications, which enables the customer to extend the desktop technology lifecycle significantly. The end result is that a much larger percentage of the IT budget is available to spend on other critical areas.

Our "On-Demand" Software as a Service (SaaS) applications have a typical ROI from 3 to 6 months. Our applications greatly ease the cost-burden and ongoing compliance and maintenance costs of deploying complex IT solutions at your facility.
