Centralized Database

Trust Group of Companies recognized across the region as being an innovative and business – focused organization with well experience human resources; Trust Group, one of the leading insurance and reinsurance companies with operations in the Middle East, Gulf Countries, North Africa and the Far East.

We had five years plan to develop the required software to handle our business to reduce our cost that enabled us to gain competitive advantage.

We continue to develop, maintain, and enhance the Group IT needs through qualified IT personnel. We are very conscious of the fast developments in the area which provides us valuable and timely support across the entire Group for better assessment and decision making.

Unfortunately, the telecommunication in certain countries where we are operating is not up to the standard, but we manage to handle such cases with the available tools and protocols.

We implemented the centralized database within every country we operates for butter control, to stay away from fraud, and to provide the best of our service to our clients and partners.

I do agree that most wise companies and organization plan to grow their use of "Software as a Service".

Project Awareness and Control

In response to todays business challenges DOVICO is barely keeping up with the demands from companies with control and awareness in mind. Needing to take charge of cost overuns, the ever tightening budget as well as accountability to other departments is extemely easy with DOVICO Timesheet. With the SaaS model selling for $9.75 per month, the ROI for your projects is a no brainer.

Take control and be aware of your costs with DOVICO Timesheet, here is what some of my customers tell me:
"This week we went live with Dovico in our production environment with approximately 200 users, and have been receiving very positive comments on the “user friendliness” of the timesheet portion of the application. A definite improvement from our prior time tracking tool! As we are using the tool to manage all of our project costs as well as our capitalization spend".

"They set a great example for all project team members and other vendors to follow".

" ... allowed us to identify areas where we have opportunities to improve our staffing mix to resolve resource constraints. It has also allowed us to identify areas where we can improve our processes and by doing so, our efficiency and effectiveness.

SaaS Model ideal for Real Estate Rental Property

I agree with the survey results, the growth of SaaS as an alternative to owning software is growing. This is especially reverent for smaller organizations that cannot afford the cost to invest in technology that larger firms have resources are able to do. Smaller organizations are ideal environments to leverage technology to run their business and to be competitive. A prefect example is small rental property owners and managers, sometimes characterized as Independent Rental Owners. They represent the largest segment of rental properties in the US, but have the least access to technology to better run their business. DIY Real Estate Solutions www.diyresolutions.com is a SaaS model for the property managers and owners of small rental portfolios. Their Web base solution integrates all of the technology (Web Portals, Online Rent Payments, Online Advertising of vacant units, Online banking and the tenant accounting) in one platform in a easy to use solution that is affordable. So for a very low cost a Property Management Company that caters to small portfolio’s of rental properties (from 10 to 2,000 units) can have access the power of technology at a fraction of the cost. Similar to how we access utilities, like electricity, basically we walk in and turn the switch on and there is light (but behind the scenes there is a significant investment to generate the power that most of us could not afford to create), for the small owners and managers of rental property they would just plug into the internet, wherever they are and immediately access the technology to run their business without any upfront cost.

Avoiding SaaS Perils

SaaS will indeed become a fact of business life, starting 2009. A recent Microsoft study also predicted 86% of SMBs will adopt SaaS in 2009. But with this massive adoption of SaaS, companies will need to be guided through the SaaS selection process, because most of them are new to SaaS.

We have created a whitepaper and webinar on "SaaS Vendor Selection" to help such companies. Rusty Weston will present a free webinar on the subject on 5th of June 2009, if anyone is interested. You can register and find the whitepaper @ http://www.hyperoffice.com/saas-reviews-for-smbs/

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
