Save Time and Money with Software-as-a-Service
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is emerging as a powerful alternative to on-premises licensed software and custom development. Significant savings result from “multi-tenancy” and the relief it provides from the burden of having to maintain custom and semi-custom software, pay for expensive upgrades, and build/support a network infrastructure.
Kavi adapted SaaS for use in the standards arena. Our SaaS model allows as many as 20 customers to share a single server - each with its own secure partition, dedicated bandwidth, separate domains, and mail transfer agents. We maintain a a master code repository which feeds each client instance of the software, providing a continuous stream of patches, updates, and customer-driven improvements to the software.
Kavi’s professional services teams apply their skill to meeting your complete requirements with custom extensions, integration with 3rd party software and legacy systems, and branding capabilities. You get the benefits and economies of SaaS without the usual tradeoffs. Customers with high security requirements can even opt for a private server.
