Advantages of Software as a Service (SaaS)
SaaS applications minimize the pains of "owned and operated" applications like complexities, time,
and costs associated with these solutions. Most companies prefer simpler, faster and lower-cost
solutions and are attracted to the SaaS model due to their ability to provide advantages including:
A Lower Cost Solution
You're accessing a domain specific solution at a fraction of the
cost to implement, design, deploy, host, manage, and support a resident solution yourself. One of
the biggest benefits of SCOUT is that it offers very significant economies of scale in pricing.
Software That Evolves and Grows
Our design allows for users to provide input on investigation processes, and business needs, It's like having a
team of business analysts helping your business. Enhancements are made on a regular basis without clients ever
having service disrupted. Every user is always using the most up-to-date version of the software.
Quicker Architecture of the End Solution
The domain solution has already been planned for, designed, implemented, deployed and tested.
SCOUT is already live and ready to be used.
Rapid Implementation
Since there is no software to install or deploy there is less demand on IT
resources and therefore faster implementations. Adding users to SCOUT is as simple as
setting permissions and assigning passwords.
Better Support
Your company is leveraging solution that comes from, is managed
by, and is supported by experts who focus on the application 24/7. Your company is tied to
a live service provider that acts as an extension to your own business and has resources focusing on
the application all the time.
A Smaller IT Department
All you need is a computer and internet access to use SCOUT. This means you don't have to provision for, host, manage, and support
your own internal infrastructure.
Data Security
SCOUT uses a Secured Socket Layer secured, and has the same 256 bit encryption used by banks and
major online retailers. The hosting environment is completely autonomous and utilizes multiple
systems to ensure performance and reliability. The server
offers redundant hard drives, power supplies and network interfaces. Company and case file
information are completely safe and secure. The datacenter also has multiple networks and provides for bandwidth
redundancy and scaling.
