The above price includes: the subscription for the use of Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server licenses and the use of ASiSplus licenses. To access the ASiSplus ERP system in the SaaS version,  clients need a plain Internet connection.

The rapid spread of cloud-computing technologies and RIAs (Rich Internet Applications) have enabled vendors to refocus business policies and thus to offer customers software for a monthly subscription or rather as service (Software as a Service).

The concept of SaaS (Software as a Service) allows use of software without having to pay its full value at the purchase moment. Software vendors can host applications on dedicated servers and can give customers access in exchange for a monthly subscription.

In this context of technological development, with the development of the ASiSria component, Alfa Software can provide ASiSplus ERP under a subscription that starts at 40 EUR / month / user.

"To be able to offer our customers such a convenient business model, it had to be supported by the appropriate technology in order to allow a real price reduction that could come along only based upon a real cost reduction. Applying the SaaS concept to the traditional desktop applications (which require installation, configuration and long-term customer support), could not be reliable long term. RIA technology, however, can be  applied to this business model because it eliminates any client computers installation or setup costs. However, customers should know that there are initial costs related to product implementation. These costs include services related to the initial configuration of the server, data takeovers and training sessions.

RIA does not transform an ERP that is sold in the SaaS version a low cost product, but it shows that information technology has evolved to such an extent that cheaper means better at this time. "- Cristian Pavel - Research & Development Manager.

For companies that can not afford a high value investment in infrastructure and embedded computing solutions, ASiSplus ERP in the SaaS version offers customers online access to the following applications: General Accounting, Resource Management, Payroll, Fixed Assets, and Reports throughout the RIA component. The monthly subscription starts from 40 EUR / month / user and it contains the server rental and also the Windows Server and SQL Server licenses rental. There is no cost for the installation or configuration on client computers, and companies that resort to this kind of subscription will not require any investment in IT infrastructure or specialized personnel. Instead, it is required a simple Internet connection.
