Datastay Corp, presenting a webinar on “Using Cloud Computing to Weather an Economic Storm”

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 28, 2009 -
Datastay will be hosting a webinar on February 27th, 2009 at 2:00pm EST titled “Using Cloud Computing to Weather an Economic Downturn.” During the 30 minute webinar, topics to be discussed include:

•  How to build a competitive edge using Software-as-a-Service and Cloud Computing
•  Cloud Computing Service Delivery Models
•  How to derive business value from your IT investments
•  How SaaS allows organizations to focus on their core competencies
•  Using IT to create better Economies of Scales

With the recent economic downturn, there has been increased pressure on IT managers and executives to stretch their budgets and make investments into worthwhile technologies that provide specific business benefits to their organizations. Software-as-a-Service solutions such as Datastay are on-demand and delivered over the internet helping businesses to avoid hardware upgrades and capital-equipment costs, while allowing them to focus on their core competencies.  

With increased pressure and tighter budgets, organizations are abstaining from the extra costs and risks associated with large, long-term implementation projects. Software delivered as a service is based upon a monthly pas-as-you-go scheme and has the ability to be switched on or off at very short notice while reducing upfront payments, making costs scalable and reducing implementation risks.  Software-as-a-Service is a viable and practical alternative to traditional client/server applications that are expensive and require long risky implementations.

“There are many factors that IT Managers and Executives should consider when looking at new technologies to implement” said Samantha Morris, Marketing Programs Manager at Datastay,  “During the webinar, we will discuss the important features that make Software-as-a-Service an attractive option in times of economic uncertainty  such as, lower overall costs, quick implementations and less up-front costs, all of which are extremely important to consider  for those who will be embarking on  new IT projects in 2009.”
Also to be discussed are the business benefit associated with SaaS such as easier upgrades, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), global availability, enhanced collaboration, as well as simplified  business process integration and more that will help IT Managers and Executives obtain buy-in.
