Security On-Demand Wins Best of SaaS Showplace Award
Security-as-a-Service Protects Against Internet Security Threats |
Wellesley, Mass. - June 14, 2010 - THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that Security On-Demand has been named the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.
The BoSS Awards is an ongoing program which recognizes SaaS companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits can include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.
Security On-Demand is a leading provider of comprehensive SaaS-based compliance and security solutions which help organizations maintain compliance with industry regulations, manage risk, and protect themselves from security threats.
An example of the business benefits of Security On-Demand is the Ken Blanchard Companies (KBC), a leading provider of workplace learning, productivity, performance, and leadership effectiveness solutions. The company has over 500 employees over half of which are remote or mobile and spread out around the globe. The company's management determined they needed to better safeguard and protect corporate data. Rather than purchase, implement and maintain an internally based security technology and staffing, The Ken Blanchard Companies decided to adopt a SaaS solution by utilizing Security On-Demand. The organization estimates that it is saving over $171,000 per year because of the fixed cost subscription for the On-Demand security management and monitoring services. The organization was also able to significantly reduce the deployment time for rolling out the services which in turn accelerated their time-to-value.
It is for these reasons that Security On-Demand has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner. A summary of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found at http://www.saas-showplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=1752.
"We are pleased to be recognized by THINKstrategies and the SaaS Showplace for the business value of our SaaS solution," said Peter Bybee, President and CEO of Security On-Demand. "We have worked hard to design a cost-effective SaaS solution that lowers the cost of ownership, while leveraging the value of a pre-integrated, best-of-breed security architecture."
"There are very few organizations which can maintain internal systems and staff to cost-effectively combat today's escalating security threats," stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace and Managing Director of THINKstrategies, the strategic consulting firm which conceived and administers the Showplace. "Security On-Demand clearly illustrates how SaaS-based security services can address these ongoing challenges."
Based on the success of the BoSS Awards program which focuses on SaaS solutions, THINKstrategies has launched the Cloud Computing Business Value (CCBV) Awards program to recognize companies which are delivering Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions producing measurable business benefits for their customers.
