SaaS asset lifecycle management software
Lower risk, higher performance
Software as a service
The gold standard of software delivery throughout the technology industry, software as a service (SaaS) is a cloud-hosted, subscription-based delivery method that provides more benefits than traditional on-site deployments.
Faster to deploy, faster to add value
With a SaaS solution, your organization can go live with a new asset management system in weeks, days, or hours—not months. The more quickly you have access to your new solution, the sooner you can use it to meet your organizational goals.
Affordable & predictable
Accessible from any computer with a supported browser and internet connection, SaaS lets you avoid a large upfront investment in IT infrastructure. Instead, you “pay as you go,” with a clear idea of what your monthly costs will be. This makes IT budgeting easier and more accurate. Your organization also saves on hardware maintenance and IT staffing costs.
Flexible & scalable
Your SaaS solution can grow as your organization grows. When you add users, there’s no need to invest in server capacity and software licenses. Simply adjust your subscription.
Focused on data security
System security is highest in the SaaS model. Specially trained personnel with advanced knowledge of the cloud environment are dedicated to mitigating risks and maintaining data security around the clock, for each user and each application.
Always up to date
SaaS delivers the best system performance and always reflects the latest software release. Trimble maintains and updates the software regularly to ensure it continually meets your defined service levels. Upgrades are frequent and painless, causing minimal disruptions and requiring no extra software, hardware, or staffing.
Highly available
With SaaS, you can expect an uptime commitment of at least 99%. Your SaaS solution works day in and day out, month after month, with minimal disruptions to your organization’s productivity.
