On-Demand Access

On-Demand Access is about providing a stack of core services – Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) – that operate together, effectively as one single solution accessible anywhere or anytime.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (or IaaS) is a platform that offers our customers dedicated storage, network, and server capacity on a pay-as-you-go model. The DealershipDynamics IaaS model provides a rock-solid foundation of high-performance and enterprise-strength hardware deployed using best practice service management that functions as a dedicated IT cornerstone.

Software as a service (or SaaS) is a combination of scalable software licensing and application deployment that enables Concept to deliver DealershipDynamics to a wide range of customers over the Internet—as a service and On-Demand – also on a pay-as-you-go basis. From within a fully managed, complex and secure IT environment, the customer simply accesses the software securely via the Internet.

On-Demand is gaining tremendous corporate acceptance and adoption because it overcomes many of the inadequacies and increasing costs of traditional, legacy/on-premise software products and support. It is the next logical step in enterprise computing. It is no longer about managing infrastructure; it is now more about managing information. It’s about having your storage, your applications and your security available to you when you need them shifting the burden and cost of maintaining on-site software from you to the On-Demand vendor.

In an era when competitive, cost, customer and compliance pressures are escalating, a growing number of enterprises are recognizing that SaaS represents a more economical and effective approach to obtaining and leveraging state-of-the–industry business applications.

“The popularity of the On-Demand deployment model has increased significantly within the last four years. Initial concerns over security, response time, and service availability have diminished for many organizations as SaaS business and computing models have matured and adoption has become pervasive,” said Sharon Mertz, research director at Gartner.
