Online Hosting Service (SaaS)
Maintenance Connection is available either online or onsite. When a customer chooses the online option, the Maintenance Connection software is hosted in a secure data centre. The customer only needs a web browser to access the software, and nothing is installed.
Maintenance Connection's hosting service does not require a significant upfront investment in hardware or software licensing fees. Since the application service is paid for on a monthly basis, there is no commitment and upfront costs are low. Since the software resides in the Maintenance Connection data centre, you do not need a crew of personnel to support and maintain in-house application and database servers.
The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) reflects the total expense involved in purchasing, deploying, and maintaining a maintenance management (or CMMS) solution. As organisations are demanding predictability and accountability for the total cost of software, hardware and support staff, TCO has become a popular decision making tool when choosing a maintenance management (or CMMS) solution. Although the Maintenance Connection value proposition is broader than TCO, the savings of an online web-based application versus the traditional onsite client-server based application are ideal for organisations seeking ways to reduce costs in order to increase profit.
