DMSi Reduces Agility SaaS Fees

Omaha, NE - Since offering Software as a Service (SaaS) eight years ago, DMSi has consistently reduced its fees. The reduced cost is attributed to an increase in Agility SaaS customers, faster technology, more affordable hardware, and operational efficiency. With another reduction slated for 2008, Agility SaaS customers will benefit from lower costs for the same reliable service.

“Since DMSi has developed a large SaaS customer base over eight years, we have the ability to leverage our stance in the market to pass significant savings onto our customers,” says Jim Hassenstab, DMSi CEO. “Our reduction in SaaS costs, coupled with the cost-saving benefits SaaS provides, is a win-win situation for our customers.”

Equipped with the addition of a second data center in 2007, DMSi’s SaaS customers now comprise over 2,100 end users and nearly 60 percent of all Agility accounts. By transferring IT infrastructure to a SaaS facility, customers literally remove hardware and software from their businesses. Servers and other related hardware and software reside at a secure, remote data center that includes a Tier I disaster recovery environment and nightly back-ups. The flexibility of SaaS allows companies to run Agility with a PC and reliable Internet connection from anywhere in the world. Since customers share the infrastructure with hundreds of companies, a SaaS environment can provide better technologies with lower cost, higher security, and unlimited growth.

“Very few distributors can claim IT infrastructure management as a competitive advantage and core competency, so it makes sense to remove that complexity and free-up resources to focus on activities that customers value,” explains Cal German, DMSi President. “Most of our SaaS customers get by with a basic, low-maintenance network and an internet connection from an enterprise class Internet Service Provider. It’s that simple.”

Agility SaaS eliminates waste and cuts costs by outsourcing the complexity of managing server and communication hardware, software, updates, and backups. This service simplifies technology, fixes IT costs, and frees resources to focus on core business initiatives.
