Software-as-a-Service

Intelliworks delivers its robust relationship management and marketing capabilities on demand via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that requires no hardware or software investments. Leveraging a multi-tenant architecture allows Intelliworks to provide better, faster service to customers compared to traditional hosted solutions.  Updates to Intelliworks’ services are continuous and universal across all customer deployments, so you’ll always have access to the latest and greatest features and functionality.

According to a recent Gartner research report title The Role of CRM in Higher Education Student Life Cycle Management:

SaaS is increasingly popular because it is perceived as a cost-cutting opportunity.  SaaS deployment promises lower overall expenses, because the management of the service rests with the provider rather than with the institution.  Some admissions offices are opting for a hosted SaaS model, because they can work around the IT department and make that decision independently.

The report adds:

This work-around is especially helpful when, for example, a large institution is replacing or upgrading a student system, which usually takes a protracted time (up to 24 months) for the selection process and implementation.  In the meantime, recruiting and admissions departments are in the midst of a competition for a new class of students.  A hosted SaaS model can become operational faster and can address the critical needs of recruiting...

True Software-as-a-Service vs. Hosted ASP

True SaaS solutions benefit from a multi-tenant architecture which scales to the needs of your organization by leveraging a single unified infrastructure, whether you’re using Intelliworks on a departmental level or across your institution. This allows for seamless updates, faster deployment and easy configuration without costly customization.

Unlike Hosted ASP providers or on-premise CRM solutions, Intelliworks requires no hardware, maintenance, upgrades or support fees. All you need is a Web browser to get started.
