EntarusTM SaaS

EntarusTM SaaS is an Internet subscription service of First Degree Solutions using EntarusTM Enterprise.  The only software that you need to have installed on your computer is a web browser.  It does not matter which browser you prefer to use.  We support Internet Explorer 7.0, Internet Explorer 6.0, Firefox 2.0.0.14, SeaMonkey 1.1.9, Opera 9.27, Safari 3.1, and Flock 1.1.2 browsers.

When you choose to access EntarusTM SaaS, you will get all the same software features, benefits, and services as our EntarusTM Enterprise customers.  The big difference is that you have the added benefit of professional setup, installation, and deployment services to get you up and running quickly.  You will not need to purchase any new hardware and software.

EntarusTM SaaS is a cost effective solution for any organization, regardless of the size of the fleet.  You can subscribe to the service for a low monthly fee.  While you may opt to use the service on a month‑to‑month basis, we offer lower rates for annual subscribers.  Aside from a small set‑up fee and the first month's subscription fee, there are no other costs for the basic service.

When you sign up for the service, we will issue your organization a personal certificate.  This certificate grants you access to our secured servers, using high‑grade encryption.  High‑grade encryption is the strongest encryption available, using 128‑bit keys at a minimum.  The longer the key, the stronger the encryption meaning that it is harder for an unauthorized person to unscramble the encrypted information.

Our secured servers do not and will not contain any advertising.  One reason is that we do not want to expose your computers to security risks such as third‑party cookies.  See our privacy policy for more details on our use of cookies.  In addition, we believe that you want your employees to remain focused on the task at hand and not be distracted by advertisements.  This enables us to extend the features and capabilities of EntarusTM based on the needs of our clients without interference from outside influences.

Whether you have a need to manage a large fleet with many locations or a small fleet with just a single location, the service bureau is the easiest, fastest, and most affordable way to computerize your fleet maintenance.

EntarusTM SaaS is available for a 30‑day evaluation period at our demonstration site.  The demonstration version has the same features as the production version.  If you are interested in evaluating EntarusTM SaaS, please complete the request form at the site and we will email your demonstration account information.

Six Reasons to go SaaS

  1. Easy Access

    To access EntarusTM SaaS, all you need is a web browser.  All modern computers come with a web browser installed.  So, you already have all of the software that you need to manage your fleet maintenance.

  2. Lower Cost

    EntarusTM SaaS users access the application on demand over the Internet for an affordable monthly subscription.  Your costs are significantly lower than developing custom solutions or purchasing proprietary software and hardware.  The infrastructure, development, maintenance and future innovation costs are spread across the broad base of users and not borne solely by you.

  3. Reliable Cost Forecasting

    With EntarusTM SaaS, you can reliably forecast your computing costs over the length of the service agreement.  When you purchase a solution, your computing costs are a mix of integration, licensing, version upgrade, support, and infrastructure costs.  Each one of these costs will change dramatically as you adapt to changing business requirements.  Custom solutions increase the cost variability to engineer or re‑engineer it to keep up with changing technology and business requirements.

  4. Continual Technology Enhancements

    EntarusTM SaaS users enjoy the continual, automated, easy access to technology enhancements the service model provides.  All product enhancements are made available to all clients with each deployment.  You will never have to struggle with painful data conversions again.

  5. Increased Security and Reliability

    First Degree Solutions manages the infrastructure necessary to run EntarusTM SaaS in a secured environment.  This infrastructure includes computers, networking equipment, software, and backup devices.  The costs associated with the maintenance and upgrade of this infrastructure is included in the cost of the service.  Our connection to the Internet is monitored 24/7 by our ISP.  In the unlikely event of a network outage, their staff will be immediately notified of the problem and they will be able to take corrective action.  This eliminates our need to call a switchboard to report the issue with a faceless individual.

  6. Full Support

    First Degree Solutions is dedicated to provide you with professional level implementation, training and customer support to assist you every step.  You will have peace of mind that comes with a stable, always on support team.
