The Sant Corporation Unveils Sant Suite On-Demand
New Software as a Service (SaaS) option minimizes internal IT costs and speeds deployment time
CINCINNATI, March 15 / -- The Sant Corporation, a world leader in proposal and sales document automation software, today announces an on- demand deployment option for Sant Suite(TM). Sant Suite On-Demand provides users the flexibility to create proposals, RFP responses, presentations, and related sales documents directly via the Internet. It is designed for companies of all sizes who choose not to utilize internal resources to host and maintain Sant Suite.
"Companies are trending to Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions to realize a lower total cost of ownership, faster deployment times, increased user adoption, and decreased implementation complexity," said Sheryl Kingstone, senior analyst with the Yankee Group. "Companies with IT resource constraints should use a SaaS solution to speed time-to-market and minimize ongoing maintenance requirements."
Sant's customers have the option to purchase an on-demand subscription or perpetual license of Sant Suite. Both versions contain identical product functionality; the only difference is the delivery model. Sant Suite On- Demand is fully hosted by The Sant Corporation and provides the necessary hardware, software, infrastructure, bandwidth, security, and other necessary services. Sant Suite On-Demand is offered through a subscription-based licensing model. Companies will pay as little as $59 per user per month to use Sant Suite applications.
