Enviance provides secure, reliable, and cost effective compliance management solutions. The Enviance System is available on a subscription basis and accessed anytime, anywhere, on demand. This SaaS design ensures that you have 24X7 access to your data regardless of your location, as long as they have a connection to the Internet. This level of service is unprecedented in the industry.

Some companies say they are "on demand" or "SaaS", as it's a compelling business model to offer. However, be very skeptical of such claims. Companies take their fixed technology, outsource the IT infrastructure hosting offsite from a customer's premises, and expect the look and feel of the Internet to sell the application. But the benefits of true SaaS computing can't be delivered unless the application has been designed from inception to be scalable across multiple companies and tens of thousands of users over the Internet and interoperable with various other corporate systems.

Because Enviance is Internet-based, you are free from the headaches of hardware and software installation and maintenance, security and availability concerns, and time-consuming system upgrades. We manage the entire system, so your staff stays focused on your business.

The SaaS model marks a significant advance over less interoperable client-server alternatives: the upfront costs are dramatically reduced and implementation times are significantly shortened because customers do not need to purchase or install hardware, operating systems, database applications, server applications, and system software. You pay on a subscription basis, exactly what you need, so the Enviance System allows you to "pay as you grow".

SaaS also offers significant cost savings versus client-server upgrades, because there is less reliance on IT professionals to travel site to site and struggle with systems, servers, and installation discs; there are no system configuration or compatibility problems and no budget issues.

One of the most tangible benefits of using the SaaS model for managing environmental compliance is faster and more sustainable ROI.

When comparing the SaaS model to traditional client / server architecture, there are 3 main cost saving areas in the initial ROI deployment alone: 1. lower initial cash outlay 2. faster deployment, and 3. quicker time-to-value.

1. Lower Initial Cash Outlay
You gain huge initial cost savings from the day you sign up as an Enviance customer because you have no hardware, no software, no maintenance, no security or availability costs or concerns. And because the SaaS model allows you to purchase precisely the amount of computing power you require that directly matches your business issues, you save even more money.

2. Faster Deployment
According to TripleTree, the SaaS model is faster to deploy - taking an average of 4 months compared to a year in the Client / Server world.

3. Quicker time-to-value
Due to the two factors above, the system gets in the hands of the end user more quickly, so a faster ROI is realized. There are also the hidden costs of maintenance costs that are saved with this model. According to Gartner, "Customers can spend up to four times the cost of their software license per year to own and manage their applications." With the Enviance System, these out-year IT costs, are completely avoided. And maintenance upgrades that keep up with industry trends and innovation are free and included in your subscription costs.
