On-demand applications

It's time to get your head in "the cloud"

"Cloud computing" (a.k.a. "software as a service", "SaaS" or "on-demand") is a new way to access, use and pay for a huge range of business support systems. It has quickly become an extremely popular and accepted model all around the world and it offers many advantages that could make it an attractive option for your organisation too.

It offers the promise of business systems that:

  • are always available, easy to deploy and accessible anywhere
  • are quick to set up and integrate
  • need only minimal in-house IT infrastructure and support.

Cloud computing applications are generally priced on a subscription model - so customers may pay a monthly usage fee, for example, rather than the more established model of purchasing software to run in house or "on premise".

How can we help you?

In addition to our unrivalled breadth and depth of on-premise business software, we have a growing number of on-demand solutions, including the world's first unified ledger enterprise-level "cloud accounting" application - FinancialForce Accounting. We also offer a number best-of-class on-demand applications - for example our tool for e-recruitment, which can be used as either powerful stand-alone solutions or to complement other UNIT4 or third-party solutions. Finally, we offer a range of options for how you deploy our on-premise solutions too, including hosting and rental models that offer the best of both on-premise and on-demand worlds.

What is the UNIT4 advantage?

Whether you choose on-demand or on-premise or a combination of deployment models, you can rely on UNIT4 to offer you the best possible flexibility and choice of approach, to deliver the applications you need in the most appropriate manner to suit your organisation's needs and plans - both now and as it continues to evolve.
