OCM^TM Product advantages

Revenue based payments - OCM^TM is delivered to organisations as a subscription model, billed on a per user per month basis for a fixed term. Billing is on a “pay as you go” basis, that is, businesses only pay for the users who have benefited from the software during each billable month. Naturally this removes large upfront payments and potential annual license, support and maintenance charges.

Third party hosted - Investing in expensive infrastructure is no longer required since OCM^TM software applications are third party hosted. As a result there are no capital costs for hardware, licenses, databases or ongoing overheads of either third party or internal IT support staff or software and hardware maintenance and upgrades. Software applications are accessed via a web browser run on a desktop, laptop or mobile device via a fixed or a wireless network connection keeping the user ICT requirements simple, low cost and easily managed.

Multi-Tenant Efficiency - OCM^TM platform solution uses a secure multi-tenant architecture. This means that the cost of all software, infrastructure and expertise is shared by a large number of customers. This multi-tenant architecture offers reduced implementation and upgrade times and economies of scale making the overall solution more cost effective.

Predictable costs - OCM^TM provides agreed pre-defined fixed charges. This enables the client to project and predict their annual costs and helps with annual budget provisioning.

Increased Accessibility - Being Internet based, OCM^TM applications and services, including VoIP, are accessible not only in the office, but from home, a hotel room, any of a business’s international locations or on the move.

Flexibility and Scalability - OCM^TM provides businesses with a high level of flexibility. OCM^TM completely eliminates installation and setup tasks at the customer’s end. Users can be up and running very quickly. As a business grows all that needs to be done is to request the service provider to change the number of users. Initially one could start with 10 users and after one month to add say another 3,000 users without any issues, thus providing the business with ultimate flexibility.

Availability and Security - The service provider that offers OCM^TM shall be providing uninterrupted reliable services. It is essential that the data is backed up religiously, and that the information security is paramount. Skilled resources, network redundancies, stand-by power, up-to-date security and intrusion detection are a necessity in providing an enterprise class service and are included in the service offering.

Environmental benefits - The energy savings are achieved thanks to the absence of the servers installed at the customer premises. Great environmental benefits are offered by the extended OCM^TM product reach anywhere over the network, which makes it possible for the staff to work remotely and allows achieving additional savings by reducing the office expenses and the commute time and costs.
