Why On-demand?

The Joy of SaaS

At Daptiv, we’re passionate about On-demand. On-demand delivery, also known as “Software-as-a-Service” (SaaS), lets us deliver a better solution, faster to our customers, and earn their continued business over time by making them more successful.

 

On-demand is…


Easy

Easy-to-use software doesn’t just make your employees happy. Ease-of-use gets our solution adopted by your organization, so you capture more data in Daptiv PPM, and get better visibility into the work happening at your company.

  • Log in and get to work: All you need is a browser. Anywhere.
  • Adoption means success for you and for the work in your company. Increase your chances of being on-time, on-budget, and in control.

Efficient

If you’re like most companies, you like to get a return on your investments. How about this month or next? As reported on ZDNet, Daptiv’s average Subscribe to Live™ time is less than 30 days, compared with months or even years for client/server software.

  • Enjoy shorter time-to-value
  • Manage projects, not servers
  • Invest in a lower total cost of ownership

Smart

On-demand is a better way to work. On-demand applications use multi-tenant architecture, meaning one instance of “code” serves an unlimited number of customers.

  • Get fast updates as improvements are instantly available to all customers
  • On-demand is green, pooling hardware and electricity (which we pay for) to consume less
  • Get up-times approaching 100%, so your data is always available to you

Secure

On-demand keeps your data safe, thanks to Daptiv’s physical security, network security, systems security and application security.

  • Login in from anywhere, but with encrypted login and IP filtering options to prevent unauthorized access
  • Robust permissions can be configured to control which information can be seen by which members of your enterprise
  • Just ask if you’d like to know more about our infrastructure, process & procedures. Or visit Daptiv in person and see for yourself!

SaaS is a "Good Deal"

As Mary Hayes Weier at InformationWeek wrote recently “There are many big companies starting to buy SaaS for one or two applications, and sometimes more, because they know a good deal when they see it.”

The Fastest Way to Create Value in Your Organization

Daptiv delivers on-demand software. That means software as a service. You buy a subscription to use our service, and all you need to do is login using a browser. As organizations realize the benefits of the SaaS delivery model, today’s leading companies are trading in their unused shelfware for high-value Software-as-a-Service. Here’s why:

Reduces...

  • Upfront Expenses
  • Maintenance Costs
  • Deployment Costs
  • Training Costs
  • Support Burden
  • Risk
  • Time to value
  • Reliance on IT

Increases...

  • Business Flexibility
  • Usability
  • Access
  • Agility
  • Adoption Rates
  • Support Services
  • Satisfaction
 

The Big Don’t Eat the Small, the Fast Eat the Slow

Perhaps the most underestimated benefit of SaaS is that you will be up and running on your Daptiv business solution much more quickly than with any on-premise software. Our customers are consistently amazed when we tell them they will be live in days or weeks, even for user communities of hundreds or thousands. Those who’ve never used on-demand business software almost don’t believe until they experience it for themselves. This is really the competitive advantage for your business that matters most, and you can only get with on-demand business software.

Daptiv customers enjoy the freedom and control that SaaS delivers

  • An on-demand role-based environment that can be easily “turned on” for rapid deployment replacing the lengthy, complex deployments required of traditional software
  • An environment that configures to your needs, processes and methodologies - not vice versa
  • A consistent competitive edge as you automatically receive free quarterly updates with new features and enhancements
  • A company who cares about your long-term success as Daptiv supports you with Training Services, Targeted Solution Sets and new services
  • Unlimited Email, Phone and Online Support as part of your subscription
  • A Collaborative Online Community in the Daptiv Community where you can network with peers from around the world
  • Costs that are aligned with usage for a reduction in Total Cost of Ownership(TCO)
 

“Hosted” Is not SaaS

  • You may notice that not every provider “gets it” when it comes to On-demand. So a traditional software vendor may offer to sell you a “hosted” version of their product. Discerning customers see that this is an offer to “host” all the limitations of the traditional software vendor: lower quality, infrequent updates, and costly custom code and systems integration. Such options aren’t easy, aren’t efficient, aren’t smart, aren’t Daptiv.
