At its annual user conference on the Gold Coast this week, TechnologyOne has announced it is ready to offer its enterprise applications and content management solutions completely hosted in the cloud.

“We are going to make enterprise software incredibly simple,” founder and executive chairman Adrian Di Marco told conference delegates.

“Today our customers can access our enterprise suite on the Cloud and enjoy reduced operating costs and enormous scalability delivered for one flat annual fee.”

“We are offering an unrivalled breadth and depth of industry capability compared to any other vendor, which will transform our customers’ businesses, and make their lives simple because they only have to deal with us for their software, services and infrastructure.

“TechnologyOne Cloud will be available anywhere, on any device – all our customers need is Internet access.

“The savings are too compelling to pass up, especially in the wake of the GFC, so there is no turning back,” Mr Di Marco said.

In addition to its suite of enterprise apps configured for vertical markets in government, financial services, health and utilities, TechnologyOne will offer its Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution within the cloud platform.

This supports integration with on-premise scanning services such as TechnologyOne’s ScanWatcher solution for document capture, scanning and workflow.

Australia’s Outback Imaging has recently announced integration of its EzeScan scanning software with the TechnologyOne platform, and is also ready for “scan to cloud” cloud deployments.

“Our integration uses Web Services to communicate with ECM Server it is already cloud enabled,” said Managing Director Mike Kirkby.

“So  EzeScan supports Cloud based scanning into ECM right now.”.

TechnologyOne Cloud promises a simplified cloud experience with 80 per cent of the functions available in three clicks or less, and the company intends to eventually deliver its enterprise software as simple apps via an online store.

“This will transform the relationship with our customers and our products, marking the end of software releases, which will be replaced by continual updates driven by customer feedback,” Mr Di Marco said.

“Customers will have a choice about when they apply updates and will be able to trial apps using TechnologyOne Cloud infrastructure.
