The Change You've Been Looking For - 'Software as a Service'

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a method of software supply that delivers the DMS to the dealership via the Internet.

Advances in Internet Bandwidth, Processor Speed and Enterprise Storage Solutions have created a technology based environment whereby a Dealership can simply turn on a Dealer Management System Service, according to the exact size and requirements of the specific dealership.

This method of Service Delivery not only removes a great deal of the hardware and DMS maintenance from the dealership, but it also supports growth within an organisation. Simply order additional licenses and leave the provision of hardware required to support the extra processing to us.

Flexible, Inexpensive, and always Current.

My IT costs have been reduced considerably because I no longer need a large powerful server just to run a DMS inhouse. I no longer need to perform backups, end of day procedures or software updates. Arguably the most important part of any dealership today is the information stored within our DMS. I can now sleep soundly knowing that my entire database is stored offsite in a secure data warehouse - This is the future.

So what does this mean to a Dealership in Real terms?

It means that a dealership can enjoy a low cost of ownership for a new Dealer Management System as up front investment is limited to software provision, not expensive Servers and Operating System Licensing.

But it is not simply processing and storage costs that escape the up front investment cycle. Maintaining Expensive Server Hardware and Licensing requires investment in capable staff. This is also something that the dealership or dealer group can now do without as this knowledge is effectively being outsourced to your Data Management System Provider.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to concentrate your efforts on selling Cars again? SaaS is just one of the ways in which our Dealer Management System can help to facilitate this.
