February 17, 2005 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — OpSource (opsource.net), a developer of solutions for delivering software as a service, announced on Thursday that it had released its ROI calculator, an online tool that enables independent software vendors to calculate startup, capital and operating expenses for delivering software as a service, in addition to showing ISVs the cost savings they will realize as a result of partnering with OpSource.

“The market is quickly moving past application hosting into true Software as a Service, and software companies are wrestling with the myriad issues that this entails,” says Treb Ryan, CEO of OpSource. “When we announced Optimal On-Demand last year, we were the first company that truly enabled ISVs to offer real on-demand software. As the experts in the ISV’s application, we provide a complete solution with on-demand, per-unit pricing. We’re thriving as a SaaS enabler, because our technology, people and processes have effectively met the growing need for software companies to deliver SaaS quickly, economically and with the least risk.”
