Applications Marketplace uses a means of delivery known as software as a service (SaaS). SaaS is an alternative distribution method to the traditional model of applications being bought and then installed on a company's own systems.
Instead, the customer uses the application pool, which is hosted in a secure datacentre, through their internet connection. This involves subscribing to the service, rather than buying the application outright and paying on a per user licence agreement.
Hosted Applications Frequently Asked Questions
How will hosting applications benefit my business?
Easier to maintain and reduced administration are among some of the main benefits.
Will I need to buy and maintain my software?
With hosted applications the hardware and software is the responsibility of the vendor with the client only having to maintain access to the Internet. nUpdates are provided from our end when new sotware is released.
What are the costs?
The need to license software through a 'per use,' 'per concurrent user,' 'per server' or 'site' license has been eliminated. You pay for the sofware you use on a monthly basis. You can switch on and off software through the RTW Dashboard
What are the risks?
Many hosted applications require no long term commitment from their customers. New customers! can often test hosted applications either through a free introduction offer or with minimal risk using a Pay-As-You-Go model.
How do I access my applications?
Because the application software and the data is stored on the Internet server the application and data is available to the authorized client once they have logged on throuigh the dashboard from anywhere there is Internet access.
Can I Integrate our current software and migrate our data?
Yes, for organisations that have legacy systems from different suppliers running different operating systems the hosted application will provide an integrated solution to any system that supports a standard Internet browser including Windows, Unix and Macs.
What support do I get?
The hosted application vendors benefit by not having to maintain multiple version numbers or individual maintenance and licensing agreements. New updates are installed centrally negating the need for expensive roll outs.
