(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — In an effort to help foster the continued growth of software-as-a-service and to advance software transition from on-premise to cloud deployments, NaviSite (www.navisite.com) has joined the Software and Information Industry Association (www.siia.net).
A recognized software industry authority, SIIA is known for providing members the opportunity to collaborate and partner with leading technology partners to help independent software vendors grow and succeed. NaviSite’s active membership in this organization will help educate ISVs on SaaS and emerging cloud deployment models.
“SIIA and our Software Division are incredibly valuable resources because our members are active,” SIIA president Ken Wasch said in a statement. “Our success in helping our members make the transition to SaaS and the cloud is most apparent in the breadth of companies that step up to lead the way. Having NaviSite onboard is a big win for our members, especially software companies in the financial, health care, retail verticals because they require an enterprise-class, regulatory compliant suite of managed cloud services like the offerings from NaviSite.”
NaviSite’s cloud-based services are offered with guaranteed infrastructure and application SLAs, predictable usage-based pricing, multi-pronged auditable security model, management interface for visibility, control and user administration, fully customized, high touch solutions, are delivered on the enterprise-class, highly available, scalable and secure application-focused NaviCloud platform.
“ISVs face many challenges in their transition to going-to-market with software as a service,” NaviSite strategic alliances and SaaS channel senior vice president Sumeet Sabharwal said in a statement. “NaviSite has dozens of customers who have worked with us to optimize their software architecture, code base, security models, billing and metering methods and more.”
In addition to providing the technical requirements for SaaS services, NaviSite also provides assistance with go-to-market strategies, SLA and software license modifications, as well as other business-related challenges faced by many new SaaS providers. “Our recent public launch of our application-focused enterprise class Managed Cloud Services offerings are exactly what SaaS providers need that sell their solutions to enterprises,” Sabharwal said. “We are confident that that our infrastructure and data center will pass and exceed any type of due-diligence or audits.”
Also in support of establishing and promoting cloud computing security best practices, NaviSite recently became a corporate sponsor member of the Cloud Security Alliance.
Earlier this year, NaviSite sold two of its data centers and its Lawson / Kronos Application Services business, as part of its strategy to focus on cloud-enabled application management and hosting for enterprise businesses.
