The flexibility to match your needs
No matter what size the business is today or in the future, the flexibility of cloud computing means that our applications will quickly change with you in step with your requirements.
As a FinancialForce.com customer, you will share a proven, stable and secure environment that can instantly scale in step with your specific requirements and size – without needing extra in-house IT resources or having to buy additional hardware to cope with increased system use or data volumes.
Affordable and predictable costs
FinancialForce applications offer a more cost-effective way for organizations to put better tools and information at their teams’ fingertips. The “pay-as-you-go” rental approach of cloud computing removes the initial setup costs (no additional hardware to purchase, no up-front license fee to pay) and the ongoing resource costs of ownership (user support, hardware maintenance, application upgrades, data back-ups and disaster recovery are all handled for you) in return for a straightforward, predictable monthly fee.
Quicker and easier to implement, deploy and access
With no infrastructure to worry about, our cloud-based applications offer more rapid implementation than their on-premise alternatives. FinancialForce.com customers can be up and running in days or even hours and achieving a return on your investment far sooner.
Cloud computing also means that there are no servers to purchase, set up and maintain.
So, deployment is fast and cost effective, and you can access and use our applications from anywhere that has an Internet connection.
Reducing risks and delivering assurance
Risk reduction and compliance are key concerns for Finance teams. Choosing a cloud computing application from a trusted supplier delivers the reliable data security you need, along with improved process transparency and auditability. Rather than the cost and uncertainty of trying to protect data held in house (which may even reside in a number of separate company sites), FinancialForce applications enable you to hold your data securely: in a proven facility; from a trusted provider with state-of-the-art protection, back-up and disaster recovery.
Our customers benefit from the same recognised international standards of security, trusted and transparent availability and performance (backed by clear service level agreements) that salesforce.com already deliver to over 59,000 organizations.
