SoftCo, a leading document management and workflow solutions provider, has joined forces with Microsoft, to create a powerful infrastructure that optimises SoftCo’s on-demand services. SoftCo on-demand simplifies and automates everyday business processes such as Procurement, Expenses and Human Resources. SoftCo on-demand is simple to use and easy to set up. There are no capital costs, no IT costs and no maintenance costs. Just a simple fixed monthly fee and no hassle.
Using Hyper V virtualisation from Microsoft, SoftCo on-demand segregates business users, providing 24/7 availability and unprecedented performance levels. Unlike other on-demand multi-tenancy services, each SoftCo on-demand client has complete security around their documents, with an infrastructure that completely isolates them from the activity of other companies using the platform.
“Multi-tenancy is like staying in a hostel and sharing the dorm and the bathroom,” said Alan Kilduff, Software Development Director at SoftCo. “With virtualisation you get your own room in a five star hotel.”
Dave Northey, Principal Systems Engineer for Microsoft, commented on the application of Microsoft Hyper V technology by SoftCo. “SoftCo on-demand is at the forefront of what can be done with virtualisation and the best example I’ve seen of how the infrastructure can be used to revolutionise software delivery”.
Microsoft’s expertise complements SoftCo’s twenty years of software development to deliver an unbeatable infrastructure for SoftCo on-demand. “The outcome is a platform that will deliver a range of critical business applications to customers small and large at an affordable price,” said Kilduff. “It’s technology doing what it does best – delivering solutions in an easy and cost-effective way.”
SoftCo on-demand is a secure hosted pay-as-you-go service from SoftCo, a market leader in Business Process Automation solutions. A Microsoft Certified Gold Partner with 20 year’s industry experience, SoftCo is a global organisation with over 900 customers across multiple industry sectors including logistics, financial services, healthcare, legal and government.
