Enterprise Application Deployments

Enterprise Application Deployments enable Enterprises to subscribe to hosted software over the Internet, instead of purchasing multi-user licenses.

How does it differ from Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)?

In a straight Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) deployment, one application is shared by a number of organizations (tenants), but Enterprise Application Deployments could involve one organization accessing a cross-section of Enterprise applications, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Accounting. Enterprise Application Deployments is part of a growing trend, where applications and content are offered on-demand over the Internet.

Reasons for the proliferation of Enterprise Application Deployments:

• The workforce is becoming increasingly mobile

• Companies can access software that was previously out of their financial reach

• Companies don’t want to incur large upfront costs for hardware, software, and IT staff

Benefits of Enterprise Application Deployments:

• Higher return on assets (ROA): Optimization of sourcing strategy resulting in cost savings. In other words, I already have a capability (e.g. CRM) in house, but now I can source it more cheaply from the cloud.

• Shorter time to value: Opportunity to leverage software assets faster by shunting the deployment phase.

• Higher agility: Opportunity to use software that was not possible for me to leverage before, due to lack of specific skill sets, internal policies or regulatory compliance, etc.

• Flexibility: Since the applications are hosted, they can be accessed from any location with an Internet connection

The Market

While we are excited about Enterprise Application Deployments at Wrapped Apps™, don’t just take our word for it:

• In an article in ZDNet entitled “Large organizations embrace on-demand – and not just CRM,” author Phil Wainewright wrote that almost two-thirds of organizations with 1000 or more employees have already adopted on-demand solutions, citing a new study published by Nucleus Research. And although the adoption rate in smaller organizations is lower at 46%, that number is set to rise next year, with 64% of all organizations expecting to have gone on-demand.
