419 It is provided in the form of a monthly subscription with a fixed price per user. You can find the detail of Tiny’s SaaS packages at http:ondemand.openerp.com . SaaS packages do not permit you to develop specific modules to your needs. On the contrary, they offer a service at a set price based on standard software modules that contain few migration risks. SaaS suppliers are limited generally to the modules certified and validated by the original author and project manager, Tiny. Here are the main advantages of an Open ERP SaaS solution: • an unbeatable return on investment cost of implementation: 0, cost of licenses: 0, • costs that are controlled and without surprises the offer includes maintenance, frequent migrations and support, • a turnkey solution, installed in less than twenty-four hours, • packages adapted and preconfigured for different sectors of activity, • a very robust architecture guaranteed to have constant and permanent access, reachable from anywhere. So this server is recommended for small companies with fewer than about fifteen employees. Hosting by a supplier At first sight a hosted Open ERP system appears similar to SaaS: it provides Open ERP from a remote installation through a web browser. But in general the similarities stop there. To compare it with an SaaS package you should check if the hosting offer properly includes the following elements: • server hardware, • hosting, • maintenance, • future migrations, • backups, • server redundancy, • telephone and email support, • frequent updates to the modules. Also get yourself up to speed on the following points: • the version of Open ERP proposed, • the costs of implementation configuration, data loading, training, • the cost of configuration if it is proposed, • the technology and the procedure used for securing your database, • the technology and the procedure for preventing system faults, • the technology and the procedure for restoring a faulty system, • limitations on the number of users, the number of simultaneous users, and the size of the database, • the level of support and its costs, • the procedure used to update Open ERP to fault-fixed versions • the procedure adopted for Open ERP upgrades to versions that have both fault fixes and new functionality. Calling such suppliers can be a good solution if you are willing to entrust all the technical specifications for the functioning of Open ERP to them, especially if you need to use customized or extension modules that are not in the stable version released by Tiny.
