15. …advantages and drawbacks

16. Integration on ARCHIBUS On Demand
The question of integration of ARCHIBUS On Demand with other corporate solutions often comes up in project deployments.
By the very fact that a SaaS is delivered over the internet, the integrated application (other vendors software) needs to have a deep capability in accepting web services and other machine to machine communications.
Apart are the security issues, and other infrastructure problems with the other application to integrate. This is usually one of the key point to be solved in the ARCHIBUS On Demand deployment, we are flexible enough in our product offering to solve it.
Our Business Partners have a high class expertise on these integrations.

17. Integration on ARCHIBUS On Demand in House
Because ARCHIBUS is monthly rented by user but hosted in customer premises (data center), ARCHIBUS On Demand in House admits all kind of integrations as an another local software.

18. Performance
Internet infrastructure and connectivity is the basis of the
ARCHIBUS On Demand.
Performance of ARCHIBUS On Demand could be the same or better than an ARCHIBUS On Premises (self-hosted) solutions, it only depends on the bandwidth.
Delay is one of the worst effects in the SaaS performance, the delay could be problematic when the user and the SaaS Server are separated by large physical distances, because of that we provide our "Authorized Hosting Partners" (Data Centers) close to you.
Shared connections also could be a drawback when various users are competing for the same information in the same time, not so much frequent. That's why we serve on the basis of concurrent user(s) per month to solve your occasional bottle necks.
ARCHIBUS
, in theory, makes efficient / flexible use of resources. However, like any shared system, there can and are times when various users can be competing for the same resources and this could result in slower than desired response times during these
periods of peak demand. This delay can be exacerbated when the user and the SaaS Server are separated by large physical distances
where the network round trip delay time becomes a factor.
In time with advances in cloud computing and increases in network bandwidth, this will be less of a problem. With respect to
optimizing delivery today, there are various options that can be implemented to improve performance such the use of internet
delivery services like Akamai which uses their own dedicated network. Also if the user is willing to pay a subscription premium,
dedicated computation and bandwidth can be provided. In the future, performance will improve and IWMS SaaS will perform as
fast, or faster, than a self-hosted applications hosted on a corporate network.

19. Customization
ARCHIBUS On Demand hosting architecture is a dedicated server or isolated hosting environment for any customer, that can include more than one project of the same client.
Our hosting architecture enables a full customization opportunity, the same than On Premises.
That applies also on ARCHIBUS On Demand in House delivery model.

20. …key factors

21. Project Planning and Design
To create an effective ARCHIBUS On Demand solution requires developing and documenting the business processes, allocating these processes to functional operations and carrying out the system design. These activities must be conducted on the same level of precision as an ARCHIBUS On Premises implementation.
While deployment is greatly facilitated in SaaS, the work of discovery, design, configuration, roll out, end user training, and testing must still be carried out by experienced professionals like ARCHIBUS Business Partners .

22. Security and Reliability
ARCHIBUS On Demand projects are hosted in ultra
secure and redundant facilities so that even if one of the sites were physically destroyed, the operation would continue through an alternate site.
Data is backed up on a regular basis so if a user should inadvertently mess up or delete their data, it can be quickly restored.
Hosting platform is multi-layer, separated by firewalls and IP addresses of the servers are private
Data is always property of the customer and is delivered to them in case the service is discontinued.

23. …objections?

24. Where is our data?... Why externalized?
Are there something more crucial than the money? Why in a bank? …Because it is just a confidence matter. There is simply nor better neither secured place to have it.
…Like your data in our ARCHIBUS Authorized Hosting Partners.

25. Why to pay so much? Have we paid the cost of ownership after three years?
No… after 7 years of updated and excellent service, your company still saves over 11% as compared to On Premises self hosted traditional method.
Please don't forget hosting and infrastructure hidden cost.
Probably you are not estimating all together hardware, software, software upgrades, infrastructure cost, in both cases… See our document "TCO self hosted solution vs. ARCHIBUS On Demand". based on the first global IT consultancy firms.
