Network Allies helps solve the hardware dilemma for ISV/OEMs though our Hardware as a Service (HaaS) program. ISV/OEMs have a unique problem. Your core product is an application that must be delivered turnkey on a hardware platform. All costs associated with the hardware platform, including integration costs, create a drag on your margins and impact your cash flow. In addition, hardware technology becomes outdated and must be maintained. HaaS offers you the ability to pay for all hardware related costs as a monthly service with the option to upgrade your platform on a planned basis. Our HaaS program provides you with a competitive advantage by changing the way you deal with the hardware portion of your solution.
HaaS Program Benefits:
Margin Maximization
- With the hardware as a monthly service fee instead of a cost of goods you are able to maintain the higher product margins typically associated with an ISV.
Advantage: Improved product margins.
Cash Flow Improvement
- Not tying up large amounts of hardware related cash upfront allows you to extend your funds. You can also pass this cash flow benefit to your customers.
Advantage: Preservation of critical cash.
Technology Upgrades & Support
- HaaS allows you the option of easily upgrading the hardware platform to new, higher performance technology on a planned basis. Also, Network Allies will support and maintain the integrated platform for the life of the agreement.
- Network Allies' HaaS program covers your entire purpose built, integrated platform. All standard design, integration, deployment and support services are included in the program. Also, you are able to ship the bundled hardware/software solution to your customer while the HaaS agreement remains between you and Network Allies-transparent to your customer.
Advantage: Complete system solution coverage as a monthly fee - transparent to the end user.
