Ramco Delivers OnDemand ERP Via AT&T

Ramco Systems has selected AT&T to deliver its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) — Ramco OnDemand ERP. AT&T's utility computing infrastructure is said to provide Ramco a way to enter the SaaS market without incurring major infrastructure costs.
"We are excited to expand our OnDemand SaaS model to a truly global orientation with the introduction of our OnDemand ERP to North America. We sought a service provider who could support easy-to-use, yet highly secure, delivery of a robust ERP system designed for the midmarket, and we ultimately chose AT&T because of its experience in delivering Software-as-a-Service applications and its comprehensive support model," said Richard Sides, senior vice president, global services, Ramco Systems.
"We are pleased to add Ramco OnDemand ERP to the portfolio of applications we deliver as a service. Ramco Systems recognises that its core focus is developing leading ERP software, not delivering it," said Rich Froble, director, product management, TopLineISV programme, AT&T. "Counting on us to manage software delivery allows Ramco Systems to focus its attention on developing and selling great software."
Ramco Systems has entered AT&T's TopLineISV programme, delivered via AT&T's wholly owned subsidiary, USi. Based on AT&T's infrastructure, which is designed for optimum automation, repeatability and scalability, the company takes advantage of cost efficiencies and a utility computing platform that provides computing power, networking capabilities and storage on-demand.
For independent software vendors, TopLineISV also includes a series of services designed to help them grow, including business strategy consulting, marketing assistance, sales support and technical operations support. Plus, like all of AT&T's applications services clients, Ramco Systems will benefit from custom application monitors, which track availability 24 hours a day, seven days a week and automatically alert trained team members to any unplanned outages. Ramco Systems can access these monitors at any time via a secure Web portal.
