A Progress partner since 1994, DMSi has achieved marked success with Agility, their market leading software for building material distributors and dealers; and their early adoption of the SaaS server-free option.
“DMSi is proud to be in the forefront of offering SaaS technology to our building material customers. With its many benefits, SaaS helps them achieve their profitability goals,” said Jim Hassenstab, DMSi CEO. “Progress Software Corporation helps us by providing world class software development tools and technologies that we can leverage in building great software for our customers.”
As the building material industry’s leading software partner, nearly 400 building material distributors and dealers rely on Agility to achieve air tight inventory control, customer service excellence, and dramatic efficiency/profit improvement. Today over 6,414 users connect to Agility SaaS through the internet to run their businesses more efficiently. Agility SaaS allows these companies to simplify their technology, fix IT costs and free resources to focus on their core business. DMSi’s SaaS customers are able to eliminate hardware and software components from their business and let DMSI handle this for them. Servers and the Agility software reside at a remote, secure, expertly maintained “Data Center” that can be accessed anywhere by an internet connection.
DMSi’s Agility SaaS offering continues to grow as more companies embrace this model. The SaaS environment continues to see annual growth rates of 20% or more as customers want to focus on their core business, leaving the overhead and details of managing the Agility application to DMSi. At the end of 2009, this environment’s average uptime was 99.98%.
