Cost-cutting options at retail and brand organizations can include the vital support from IT departments, but a lack of IT resources and infrastructure shouldn't inhibit the success of a modern supply chain. The Software-as-a- Service (SaaS) or On-Demand model is ideal for any sized organization seeking to minimize up-front licensing costs and IT infrastructure demand.

On-Demand technology and hosting services are a strategic way to quickly and simply implement a software solution with little investment in hardware or labor. Industry statistics show that On-Demand implementations in the supply chain arena are a decisive option because they achieve ROI quickly through rapid adoption while minimizing IT expenses and overhead.

To meet this growing demand, XpressCommerce is delivered as an Install or On-Demand product, enabling the retailer to collaborate with the globally-distributed supplier networks that are key elements of efficient supply chains in today's marketplace.

We maintain two separate data centers – in New Jersey and Hong Kong – enabling faster application response times for customers accessing their systems that ecVision hosts. Collectively, these centers support multiple installations for major retailer organizations across the globe.

Enterprise-grade physical security measures are in place, including dual-factor data center access control using bio-metric and electronic measures, around-the-clock CCTV cameras that are located in each entry point, and server uptime monitoring by on-site staff. Intrusion detection systems, numerous firewalls, redundant power supplies, fail-over systems and off-site back-up storage are a few of the measures the facility has in place to ensure business continuity and ensure protection of valuable data. Leading hardware and software technology includes Dell Enterprise servers with Linux and Oracle software.

The SaaS/On-Demand solution delivery model allows customers to focus on their core business and low impact on IT resources – offloading the cost and burden of purchasing and managing computing power resources.
