The On Demand Platform for Your Enterprise Applications by Steve G on Jul 27, 2007 - 03:17 PM read 767 times |
BSG’s Applications Team develops both a platform and specific vertical applications that are delivered on demand and meet the needs of next generation enterprises in many industries.
The appeal of on demand applications is easily understood. Also known as “Software as a Service” (or Saas), on demand systems represent the fastest -growing market in enterprise applications, expected to triple over the next 5 years to $19B in sales by 2011.
On demand applications appeal to companies large and small because of the “no muss, no fuss” ability to access them with no more than an internet connection and a browser, when and however much as needed. As such, on demand applications are game-changing, in that they turn the conversation about deploying a new application:
- From months to weeks
- From massive support needs to containable performance monitoring
- From significant capital investment to expense management
- From multi-platform complexity to common framework simplicity
Commercial examples of on demand software that have achieved a degree success include Salesforce.com, NetSuite, Hotmail, and Google. These first generation web-based on demand applications share common attributes, in that they are configurable, secure, highly scalable and “always on.”
The mission of the BSG Alliance Applications Team is to work with companies that desire to leverage the power of on demand systems by further integrating Web 2.0 technologies and focusing on challenging, vertical applications that solve critical industry-specific problems.
To accomplish this mission, BSG Alliance is perfecting a single architecture, company-wide, that serves as our “on demand platform.” This platform – which provides for security, provisioning, administration, monitoring, communications, and other reusable, core services of any mature application system – is the foundational core of our ever-growing library of services and applications.
When you deploy a BSG application, we help your next generation enterprise achieve an unbeatable combination of rapid implementation time and superior total cost of ownership (TCO).
