Santa Clara, Calif., December 12, 2005 OpSource, the SaaS experts, announced today that Access Commerce (Euronext:7424), a recognized leader in product configuration and advanced selling solutions, and Market2Lead, a provider of lead generation effectiveness solutions, have joined the company's growing list of customers choosing OpSource Optimal On-Demand for SaaS delivery. The pace at which software companies are adopting SaaS continues to accelerate, with an ever-greater number of companies turning to OpSource as the only SaaS enabler that can deliver a complete solution, priced on demand.
"Our customers called upon Access Commerce to develop Cameleon On Demand, a subscription-based version of our perpetual licensed software," explained Kurt Haller, executive vice president. "We evaluated numerous companies to assist in the delivery of this subscription-based software, and OpSource stood out above the rest. OpSource has SaaS specific programs in place to help an ISV transition to SaaS. As a result of working with OpSource, we saved time, effort and avoided the pitfalls and mistakes on the road to SaaS. In addition, the OpSource team was very attentive to our needs and requests, and demonstrated time and again that the primary goal was to create success for Access Commerce. OpSource's unique Success-Based Pricing provides clear incentive for OpSource to help its customers succeed in the marketplace. In addition, this on-demand pricing allows us to better predict costs, manage margins and avoid the significant up front infrastructure investment that is part and parcel of traditional managed services."
"We feel there is a very close alignment between Market2Lead and OpSource," said Clark Dong, chief executive officer of Market2Lead. "Our business model was designed for SaaS from the outset, and while we have a lot of infrastructure expertise in-house, with our rate of growth it makes good business sense to go with OpSource for SaaS delivery. They have the infrastructure in place that can scale very economically as our needs increase, with availability guarantees that would be nearly impossible for us to achieve on our own. In the SaaS world, infrastructure provides the context for product delivery, but it's not central to our business. So, by working with OpSource, we can stay focused on adding value to our software products, rather than spending time and money on an in-house infrastructure. OpSource frees us from the restraints of capital expenditures, and allows us to grow as fast as we're able with no infrastructure worries."
"We are very pleased to add these two unique and innovative on-demand companies to our SaaS family," said Treb Ryan, chief executive officer of OpSource "Innovation is what sells applications, and Access Commerce has enabled a level of collaboration that goes well beyond that which is available through perpetual software licenses. In addition, Market2Lead is demonstrating that on-demand solutions can reach into the core of an enterprise, generating greater value from marketing investments and helping to drive increased revenuesa critical asset to any business. The rich array of capabilities that these customers bring to the market makes a compelling statement on the deep traction that SaaS has gained in the industry."
