At SilkRoute, we believe that traditional software delivery methods are dated.
They are complex and costly, and cannot scale with market or business
fluctuations. Many commercial software solutions have become over-engineered
through years of adding features and functionality. As a result, companies are
faced with investing in increasingly complex environments yielding lower returns
on investment.
For many companies, cloud-based computing represents the way forward.
Consequently SRG delivers the SkyLight application set as a service, delivering
the benefits of applications ownership without the cost. SkyLight SaaS is a
fully-hosted version of the SkyLight product set delivered to customers via a
standard web browser. SkyLight SaaS runs in SRG datacenters and includes
helpdesk support, system maintenance, disaster recovery, and regular system and
application upgrades.
