(on-demand) - as soon as or whenever required

In the early 21st century, a similar paradigm is evolving in IT, systems delivered at the flick of a switch

The business model behind utilities such as electricity is highly relevant to today’s IT systems delivery. Does your business really need to have the burden and cost of acquiring, implementing, administering and supporting server hardware, systems software, virus checkers, anti spam services, backup and upgrades?

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a way to think about IT differently . . . key systems providers are changing the way business acquire and use IT. By adopting a utility business model, your company pays for what it uses in systems that are always available and ready to use when you want them.

Ingensys have embraced the SaaS model by architecting and developing a family of managed web services, ‘on demand’ solutions which can be implemented individually, or linked together just like lego blocks. Our ‘on demand’ Blueprint solutions remove the burden of traditional IT systems acquisition, deployment and support, presenting your business critical IT services as a utility. Just as with a light switch, the service is available and works when you need it - anytime, anyplace on any device.

In the early 20th century, in order to compete in the marketplace and provide a critical service to larger businesses, companies had to build and operate their own power plants to generate the electricity required to run their businesses.

Over the following decades, businesses realised that the product they produced or core competency they offered to the market place was not the production of electricity and therefore, why not outsource the burden and cost of managing these infrastructures to utility services providers who could provide a guaranteed electricity service as and when it was needed for a known cost.
