After months of preparation, today marks the launch of SaaSplaza. SaaSplaza is a
unique European collaboration between a number of large software suppliers and their
implementation partners, aimed at offering customers convenience, choice and quality in the use of Software as a Service (SaaS). SaaSplaza offers implementation partners an ample and varied choice of SaaS solutions from various software suppliers. With the service range expecting to grow further, a SaaS solution will in time be available for every requirement. This will make SaaS a viable software delivery model for customers.
SaaSplaza makes it easy to integrate with other SaaS applications on SaaSplaza, or with applications on the own infrastructure. Also, customers can place in-house developed applications on SaaSplaza and acquire them as SaaS.
Bertil Snel, Strategic Marketing Executive at Human Inference: "We are very pleased with the SaaSplaza initiative launched by Siennax. Offering Data Quality solutions as an online service allows organisations to ensure they are working with correct customer information, in every situation. Siennax has the experience and technology platform to offer such services in a reliable way."
'What makes SaaSplaza a typical European initiative is the important role assigned to
the software implementation partner,' says Herb Prooy, SaaSplaza Market Maker, 'American SaaS Platforms are dominated by a single software supplier who totally ignores the traditional position of the implementation partner."
SaaSplaza is a collaboration between software suppliers and implementation partners, without dominance by an single party. SaaSplaza is open to every software supplier that wishes to offer Software-as-a-Service in Europe and for every implementation partner seeking to supply SaaS solutions to its clients, or wanting to break into new markets. The underlying vision is that a comprehensive offer of SaaS solutions with various integration options, delivered from a reliable SaaS Platform, will make SaaS a more attractive software delivery model for customers.
