Compare MMS Technology to SureBooks
Interesting article - see the following comparison:
(Demo: Accounting-->Login:demo, Password:demo)
SureBooks Accounting package attributes:
- Software as a Service (SaaS - hosted service) on a monthly subscription
- Delivered 100% via the browser (currently IE only) and not via Citrix/Terminal Services
- SQL Server Db - one database per client
- Engineered from the ground up in modern .NET technology (no legacy code)
- 'Plug & Go'; no protracted installation or upgrade procedure; browser is the only requirement to run the application
- Transction Safe from inception; included in the original design
- First module of completely integrated Financial Suite
- Scales (SaaS property) to theoretical infinite number of sites (not limited to 20 sites)
- Can handle theoretical infinite number of concurrent users (SaaS property) and not limited to 50
- All reporting delivered to MS Word, Excel or PDF
Additional (Business centric) Attributes:
- All client data is automatically backed-up (automatic disaster recovery)
- New releases of the software are delivered seamlessly without user intervention
- No extra software upgrade costs - all included as part of the subscription service
(Sage is in fact behind SureBooks (and other SaaS providers) on the technology stack)
The target market for the SureBooks product is small SME's and is delivered for a modest monthly fee (compare pricing structure)
Although the target markets differ, this does highlight the sophisticated nature of products at all levels. By delivering greater functionality at the bottom end it puts pressure on higher levels to provide at least similar functionality as a basic starting point before adding other specialist areas
