| MARSYS GEARS UP FOR SaaSCON |
| The Authority In Service Oriented IT |
| Offers Its Expertise—And Infrastructure—To ISVs Of All Stripes |
SAN MATEO, April 10, 2007-- It’s undeniable: the SaaS (for “Software as a Service”) revolution is underway, as more and more independent software vendors, or ISVs, are designing applications intended for SaaS (and not a box on a shelf), and even the more established players look to “SaaSify” their legacy apps. Taking center stage in this unfolding drama is the upcoming SaaScon, the second annual SaaS-themed convention at the Santa Clara Convention Center, April 17-18, 2007. And sure to be one of the dominant players at SaaScon is MARSYS, The Authority in Service Oriented IT. Perhaps the 25 year-old IT icon’s overwhelming presence at the show can best be summed up by its booth banner, which proclaims that it offers “The World’s Most Extensive Global SaaS Delivery Platform.” MARSYS makes it easy for ISVs to get started in SaaS—and easy to grow once they get there, courtesy of the MARSYS Global Services Platform.
With the success of SaaS companies such as SalesForce.com (indeed, Jim Steele, SalesForce’s President, will be a keynote speaker at SaaScon), the race is on to see which ISVs will grow to dominate in this forward-looking business paradigm, projected to hit over $3 billion by 2009. But the genius of a new application is only as powerful as the infrastructure which makes it available to the masses—and this is where MARSYS comes in, and brilliantly.
Via its OnDemand business unit, MARSYS makes it painless for software companies to “go SaaS,” since MARSYS can handle all the heavy lifting in terms of infrastructure, support, security, multi-tenancy, and availability. And scalability—the potential for “going global”—is built in with MARSYS, courtesy of its extensive Global Services Platform, with over 50 points of presence in 22 countries and five continents. This gives companies the affordable option to start small, then expand with the ability to “push out” their services to virtually any spot on earth.
MARSYS is uniquely positioned to help ISVs surmount the formidable challenges to SaaS success. With its combination of know-how and established infrastructure, MARSYS can help ISVs save some 70 percent in infrastructure and resource costs, not to mention ongoing delivery. “This lets the software developers focus their limited energies where they’re most needed: namely, on bringing great features and benefits to their new offerings,” notes MARSYS CIO Nader Shaterian. “Meanwhile, they can count on MARSYS to provide the infrastructural support needed to deploy and scale these applications as required, ensuring that a vital link—namely, the revenue stream—of their value-delivery chain remains strong and unbroken.” Indeed, no one else at SaaScon will be offering access to such an extensive global infrastructure as will MARSYS.
MARSYS also offers a full suite of SaaS transformation services (both advisory and full implementation) for legacy software.
