Azzure IT has launched a flexible pay-monthly scheme for ERP and CRM applications, in response to what it5 describes as "industry demands for more flexible and affordable business solutions".
The Microsoft Dynamics ERP, accounting and CRM software provider makes the point that its new approach will enable organisations to implement new systems without any capex requirement.
"Many businesses are on the horns of a dilemma," states Azzure director Craig Such.
"They need to make sure their IT systems meet the ever-changing demands of the business, but are wary of spending money in the current economic climate. Hence, business improvement is being stifled," he explains.
"This scheme provides companies an affordable way to improve their systems," insists Such.
He also suggests that the new payment model means that would-be new system users don't have to go for a cloud-based solution – although he adds, swiftly, that cloud is also available.
"You don't have to do it all at once," says Such. "If, for example, your email service needs upgrading, you can have a cloud solution with a monthly payment scheme, rather than commit to any upfront expenditure. You then get a chance to see how cloud works and have it prove itself to you."
