Pinnacle has entered into a joint venture with Hyperion to
exclusively offer the power of their industry leading consolidation and
analytic tools in a subscription based SaaS model.
The Santa Clara, CA based software company is a leader in business
performance management software that enables companies to translate
strategies into plans, to forecast, budget and monitor execution and
improve financial and operational performance.
Companies are increasingly focusing on return on investment
and Hyperion's (nasdaq: HYSL - news - people) performance software seems
to fit into the sweet spot of their needs.
1) Lower Costs
Fortune 500 Tools at An affordable Price.
For an affordable monthly subscription, Pinnacle clients access a
complete suite of essential customized applications via the Internet.
Implementation fees are significantly lower than developing custom
solutions or purchasing proprietary software and hardware. And as many
companies have learned too late, initial custom software development
outlays are a mere fraction of the long-term costs. Spreading
infrastructure, development, maintenance and future innovation
costs across a broad base of users means you can access Fortune
500 tools that would otherwise simply be out of reach.
Best of all, you get to focus on your mission.
2) Reliable Cost Forecasting
You can now say “Yes, I Know What Our Technology Costs Will be
in Three Years.”
Subscription fees
are not only affordable, they are fixed. With Pinnacle,
you can reliably forecast your IT costs over several years.
With custom development, or even just custom deployment,
you never know what each year will bring as you strive
to engineer or re-engineer applications to keep up with
changing technology. With software purchases, you face
a daunting and variable mix of integration, licensing,
version upgrade, support, and infrastructure costs as
you try to scale and adapt to changing requirements.
3) Easy Access
A Web Browser
– That’s All You Need.
What more can one say?
What could be easier? Your cost of installation, training,
and support are minimal - making a very attractive option
for your bottom line.
4) Continual Technology Enhancements
A Proven Method for Staying Ahead of the Game
Our clients love the continual, automated, easy access to technology
enhancements our software as a service model provides.
There is no need to pay for custom development or buy a new upgrade
every time technology takes a step forward. All our product
enhancements are made available to all clients - instantly.
And you’ll never have to struggle with painful data conversions
again. Each software enhancement will function on top of your
data without your having to do anything. Rest easy knowing your
mousetrap is a self-improvement model.
5) Increased Security and reliability
A Fort Knox for Your Data
Pinnacle’s high capacity infrastructure includes two data
centers, with full system and database redundancy, load balancing
and fail-over.
Our data centers
are in guarded and secured commercial co-location facilities,
with state-of-the-art monitoring, full data encryption and
advanced virus protection for maximum security. This
extraordinarily secure, high performance infrastructure
would cost you a fortune to replicate, whether you attempted
to build it in-house or to pay for similar services at a co-location
or high-end shared hosting facility.
6) Full Support from Hyperion’s Preferred Partner
Know Who to Call
Pinnacle has a full team of
implementation,
training and
customer support professionals to assist you every step of the way.
If you’ve ever relied on IT help from consultants or developers that
have moved or gone out of business, volunteers who no longer have time,
or staff that has turned over or been cut; you know the peace of mind
that comes with a stable, always-on support team.
