Loyalty. Software as a Service?

We already mentioned in the post (http://www.pointloyalty.com/blog/2009/02/24/loyalty-on-demand/) dedicated to ‘software-as-a-service’ why this approach is not yet very popular. Besides all issues described we can list some additional obstacles: the fear to disclose company’s sensitive data and business processes automation reluctance as it is.
Both obstacles will disappear with time.
Let’s see an example from ERP software sector. Many companies think about full business process automation but complain about high costs of ERP solutions. Nowadays there are several well-established open source ERP projects which can dramatically reduce the costs associated with deploying company automation software. But there are a very small number of open source ERP installations worldwide. The statistics show that all on-demand ERP vendors take only few percents of the global market.
We can see that largest companies choose very expensive solutions from SAP, Microsoft and Oracle. Other companies do not want to solve the issue despite they need to.
Our solution is not as big as ERP. We only provide a solution for loyalty programs management and bonus point’s calculations support.
And you can choose – to install our software in your network or use it from our website on terms Software-as-a-Service .
