Bitrix SaaS Platform: Overview
|
Research from IDC indicates that 41% of businesses have already purchased or are evaluating SaaS products, while the SaaS share in IT budgets will double in 2009-2013. Gartner foresees that SaaS revenues will grow approximately four times faster than traditional software over the next four years, reaching US$14B in 2013. Hosting/service providers are the backbone for delivering software through SaaS, and are constantly looking for new ways to improve ARPU. Bitrix offers a ready-made platform for delivering a high-end Enterprise 2.0 solution to customers with a wide range of business advantages: | |

Improve competitiveness by offering new, high-demand services | ||
Software-as-a-Service concept
Software as a service (SaaS, typically pronounced 'sass') is a model of software deployment whereby a provider licenses an application to customers for use as a service on demand. SaaS software vendors may host the application on their own web servers or upload the application to the client's device, disabling it after use or after the on-demand contract expires. The on-demand function may be handled internally to share licenses within a firm or by a third-party application service provider (ASP) sharing licenses between firms.
Excerpt from Wikipedia
Bitrix SaaS Platform allows hosting/service providers to install Bitrix Intranet Portal wrapped in Bitrix Virtual Appliance in a Virtual Private Server (VPS) or a cloud environment powered by Parallels, VMware or Amazon EC2 technologies. In turn, customers acquire the rights to use the solution for a given period of time and escape the necessity of on-premise deployment, reducing hardware and IT staff costs.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Unveil New Horizons with Highly-Anticipated SaaS Offering
Hosting/service providers are the backbone for delivering software through SaaS, and are constantly looking for new ways to improve ARPU. However, the Enterprise 2.0 market paradox creates a chasm between software vendors and hosting/service providers, preventing both from leveraging SaaS channel opportunities. Vendors offer their SaaS solutions from their own premises or through a dedicated provider, bypassing hosters.
The Bitrix SaaS Platform allows hosting/service providers to discover a new, recurring revenue source, diversify the core business and reinforce competitive positions.
Partners can take advantage of:
- competitive pricing
- customization/rebranding options
- a wide range of vendor support (sales, marketing, technical)
- fair revenue sharing – paying only for actual users
- no competition from the vendor
- fair lead distribution
- no setup fees
A well-established partner program, mature products, support for VMware, Parallels and Amazon EC2 virtualization environments, and flexible billing integration options make this a great chance for you to start a new initiative that can bring your business to a new level.
