ECM vendor Perceptive Software has added data centres in Europe, Asia, and Australia to its Software as a Service (SaaS) platform initially launched in the US in 2006.

The company says that during 2011, 28 percent of new users chose a subscription option.

“CIOs and IT executives need to support business growth through carefully managed cost centers and by tying applications to organisational innovation and competitive advantage. Perceptive Software believes process and content automation solutions delivered via the cloud play a key role in driving this transformation,” said Lynne Wilson, Vice President of Cloud Solutions, Perceptive Software.

”It’s much more than a shift from CapEx to OpEx procurement models; it means ECM and BPM oriented SaaS solutions must be flexible, scalable and deliver value quickly. This is what Perceptive Software does best.”

Perceptive Software offers a number of cloud deployment models including the ability to fully isolate server and/or storage environments to its customers in most locations.
