ESET "Software as a Service" .... pay monthly

With SaaS ESET is again Leading the Field

FACT: Research indicates that a sizeable proportion of organisations expect that SaaS services would allow them to adopt new applications they could not have previously cost justified.

FACT: Even in severe economic downturns, firms and individuals are still faced with a need to invest in or upgrade their security software. Monthly subscriptions are going to provide a much needed alternative than the upfront"lumped" costs of annual boxed license software.

ESET Australia will launch ESET "Software as a Service" (SaaS ESET) IN APRIL 2009

WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS FOR YOU ?

Shorter Sales Cycle - A shorter sales cycle using SaaS ESET has a direct impact on the bottom line. Shortening the sales cycle on IT security can help grow revenue because sales resources will be able to reach more prospects. A shorter sales cycle also reduces chances of customer dissatisfaction caused by things gone awry which is often encountered during the process of annualised license registration.

Recurring monthly cash flow - A monthly subscription allows a lower entry cost for new customers. An annual subscription may ultimately be cheaper than a monthly subscription, but the initial outlay on an annual subscription will scare a lot of customers away in a tough economy. People are looking to save money, and annuals can do that, but they're thinking short-term not long term. Short-term savers reign in tough times that is why SaaS ESET monthly subscriptions are safer.

New service options in the security - Due to the rate of intense competition in the IT business the race is on to develop and implement newer and more improved service options to offer clients and this makes SaaS ESET a key differentiator.

Easy added value to existing contracts/products - IT security coverage - While many IT companies are taking the short cut approach to marketing by discounting their brands and service a better long term approach is value adding. Offering SaaS ESET a security product of high value that costs you a fraction of its apparent value provides a real benefit with existing contracts/products and gives increased leverage.

Predictable Revenue Stream - the subscription model associated with SaaS ESET means that your customers will pay you on a recurring schedule. This means that you can get a real handle on forecasting revenues.

Predictable Growth - SaaS ESET allows you to reliably predict how many customers you will have in the next month, quarter or year, and if you can predict that then your business has a reliable means to invest in growth Sales Becomes Customer Relationship Management - When you are selling SaaS ESET, the game of gaining subscribers becomes one of balancing user retention vs. attrition rather than a game of landing 'deals'. Sure, it's important to have a team out there pounding the pavement selling - but the real thrust of the new sales and marketing using SaaS ESET is customer relationship management. The equation becomes quite simple - keep retention rates higher than attrition rates and focus on bringing in new customers.

WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS FOR YOUR CLIENTS ?

Pay as you use + Easy Monthly Payments - Your clients will pay a monthly subscription fee. Compared to a traditional annual software license, this subscription payment structure works to their advantage.

Simple activation - SaaS ESET - Activation is now a push ofa button and easy for clients to accomplish. SaaS ESET subscribers will only be required to activate once for the life of the service (some users may have to activate again if they move the ESET software from one PC to another or upgrade the number of PC within their network).

Free software upgrade - It's important to keep security software installed on your client's computer up-to-date, but this can be difficult and often time-consuming. Using SaaS ESET the software will have automatic updates.

Easier budget approval - With SaaS ESET critical security is maintained and the client is not downgraded to "free AV" solutions because the IT budget has now been significantly reduced. An on-going monthly expense is easier to incorporate into their budget than a large one-time outlay. After all,good security is a critical investment.

Redistribute IT Budget - By using SaaS ESET, the company realizes a cost saving in their IT budget and allows the organisation to focus on spending money on core business systems / applications.

Ease their Internal IT Pains - This is a big one. SaaS ESET offloads a great deal of pain incurred due to license management issues in a typical client/server network. This leaves IT resources and support staff free to focus on improving the day-to-day technical operations of the business instead of being constantly being called upon to renew software licenses.
