Power of Portals

Have you ever felt like customer needs were compromised due to the time spent with administrative functions? Software deployments can take a significant portion of a company's resources by requiring additional work for IT professionals, training for staff, and implementation of required hardware upgrades. And this doesn't consider the time needed for maintenance and repair, or the negative effect of downtimes.

But, a new approach to software, the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, allows companies to tap into hosted software without the stress and expense of deployment and maintenance.  The SaaS model is available on all Arcot products through managed services. 

Easiest authentication ever
It works through an online portal where you can log into the software as if it was on your own computer.  All information contained in the software is backed by the industry's best security technology and trained security professionals are alerted to issues before they become problems. 

"Thirty-five thousand system administrators use our software today to serve 18 million users via managed services," said Sanjay Vyas, vice president of worldwide services. "These administrators log into the Arcot portal daily to serve users and resolve a variety of issues while gaining the security protection Arcot's software provides."

Yield major cost savings
Through ease of use and operating efficiency, the cost savings a company can yield from managed services is significant. Specifically:

• Avoidance of typical hardware costs associated with software implementation
• Reduction of maintenance expenses and downtime costs
• Lessening of time required for training and implementation
• Flexibility with a "pay for what you use" purchasing model

"When company employment goes up or down, managed services can track the cost accordingly, something companies cannot get once they've made the investment in hardware and software to run their business," said Vyas.

With 7 years experience and compliance with PCI standards, Arcot's managed service model is time-tested and proven to enhance operating efficiency.
