One of the most tangible benefits of using the cloud computing model for managing environmental compliance is faster and more sustainable ROI.

When comparing the cloud computing model to traditional client / server architecture, there are 3 main cost saving areas in the initial ROI deployment alone: 1. lower initial cash outlay 2. faster deployment, and 3. quicker time-to-value.

1. Lower Initial Cash Outlay
You gain huge initial cost savings from the day you sign up as an Enviance customer because you have no hardware, no software, no maintenance, no security or availability costs or concerns. And because the cloud computing model allows you to purchase precisely the amount of computing power you require that directly matches your environmental compliance issues, you save even more money.

2. Faster Deployment
According to TripleTree, the cloud computing model is faster to deploy - taking an average of 4 months compared to a year in the Client / Server world.

3. Quicker time-to-value
Due to the two factors above, your environmental compliance software system gets in the hands of the end user more quickly, so a faster ROI is realized. There are also the hidden costs of maintenance costs that are saved with this model. According to Gartner, "Customers can spend up to four times the cost of their software license per year to own and manage their applications." With the Enviance System, these out-year IT costs, are completely avoided. And maintenance upgrades that keep up with industry trends and innovation are free and included in your subscription costs.
