Dialog Enterprise, the corporate solutions arm of Dialog Axiata PLC is offering Sri Lankan enterprises, solutions on a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform, which it says can bring considerable cost savings to organizations that otherwise have to use licensed business application software.
SaaS (Software as a Service) platform provides users access to software and its functions remotely as a web-based service, allowing organizations to access business functionality at a lower cost than licensed applications, the company said in a statement.
Unlike traditional solutions which require a licensing fee, a SaaS Solution platform only requires users to pay a monthly subscription fee for the use of the software. Further users don’t have to bear the cost for daily upkeep, maintenance or installation. The web-based tool will be priced based on parameters such as the number of employees using the application.
Dialog HRPal, will be the first SaaS enabled business tool offered to Sri Lankan small and medium (SME) businesses by Dialog Enterprise. It is offered in conjunction with Microimage, a leading specialist in HR products in Sri Lanka and the designer and developer of Dialog HRPal, making it a truly Sri Lankan product.
The online based management tool helps organizations manage and plan their HR (Human Resource) functions at a fraction of the cost, Dialog said. “Dialog Enterprise partnership will enable us to offer the number 1 HCM product in Sri Lanka to SME’s bundled together with Dialog’s enterprise services. We look forward to working closely with Dialog Enterprise team to offer a unique value proposition to SME clients,” noted Suren Rupasinghe, Head of HCM Business for Microimage.
Suresh Sidhu, Group Chief Officer for Enterprise and Global Business at Dialog Axiata PLC said that “in developed markets SaaS Solutions are gaining popularity due to cost leadership, flexibility and 24/7 support services offered by web based emerging technologies. In future we are committed to expand the number of products and services offered by SaaS to corporate entities in Sri Lanka.”
Dialog Axiata, with over 2,000 GSM and 1,200 3G base stations and growing is Sri Lanka's largest mobile service provider.
