SaaS Benefits
Low Cost of Entry
As opposed to on-premise installed software, Pilgrim’s SaaS solution is delivered to organizations as a monthly subscription model which includes software, validation packs, maintenance and support for a fixed, predictable cost with minimal investment upfront. Pilgrim SaaS eliminates the additional costs and complexities associated with adding and deploying additional hardware, or dedicating additional staff resources to support the enterprise application on an ongoing basis.
“We are constantly looking at ways to lower our overall cost of ownership, improve our productivity and boost our software solution platform effectiveness. We want our staff to be able to focus on boosting our operational efficiencies and growing our operations to meet our customers’ needs, versus spending valuable energies on systems and application software maintenance. With Pilgrim’s SaaS platform we have achieved this very effectively.”
Michael Raya, CEO, West-ward Pharmaceuticals
Cost-effective - Infinite Scalability
The subscription model gives companies the freedom to adapt to the changing usage of the software, on demand. Begin with a minimal number of users and a single application, and then in a few months, after achieving measurable benefits, decide to adapt and expand it for the entire company; or easily add more applications to continue to address your growing business needs. Pilgrim SaaS provides this scalability without requiring customers to plan for it.
Increased Accessibility and Productivity
100% Web-based through an Internet certified browser, this application enables you to save your information on the Internet, making it easily available from anywhere. Your business knowledge is made accessible to all your knowledge workers, increasing collaborative productivity. Geographically separated teams function more effectively when better information is readily available. This model accelerates the time-to-value and increases user productivity by increasing application reliability and security. Additionally, with all Pilgrim standard SaaS agreements, the customer retains ownership of its corporate data and is able to recover that data in its entirety when the service agreement concludes.
