Service costs fall when times are hard
February 1st 2009 Users of CarrierNetOnline,
the Cloud Computing
logistics solution from
Deltion, are used to the
benefits of pay-as-you-go
transaction-based payments
in times of business growth.
Now because payment for
CarrierNetOnline (CNO),
which is a Software as a
Service (SaaS) offering based
on actual transactions, users
who are hit with less business
in the current market find the
cost of their software services
is falling accordingly.
The financial model for
CNO is based on the choice
of features by customers,
and is directly related to the
number of orders processed
for each customer. As the
service is hosted, there is no
wasted cost with unused
server capacity in
downtimes, or cost of extra
servers in good times.
A recent report by analyst
Gartner indicates a high
level of satisfaction with the
SaaS model. Almost 90% of
organisations surveyed
expect to maintain or grow
their use of Software as a
Service. More articles from Deltion Limited: |
