The Era of ETRM in the Cloud A ComTechAdvisory Whitepaper
SUMMARY
Against a backdrop of a drive for cost containment and business efficiency , cloud-based ETRM software is rapidly gaining market share versus traditionally implemented ETRM software . Buyers are keen to avail themselves of the benefits of cloud-deployed ETRM software and will undoubtedly increasingly select such solutions . However , buyer beware , as not all cloud is truly cloud !
To obtain the cost and agility benefits offered by the cloud model , users must scrutinise ETRM solutions to ensure that they are truly built for the cloud , with browser-based front-ends accessible via a secure web connection . They must ensure that the vendor has the ability to provide secure hosting services complete with back-up and recovery . And , they must ensure that the vendor can offer a flexible services model both in terms of pricing and delivery of both software and services .
Contigo developed its ETRM solution relatively recently , making use of modern technologies and with an eye on the cloud from the start . It has a track record of using the cloud to provide customers insights into its recent developments or customizations - and now offers a quarter of its customers a managed services approach to gaining the business critical functionality that they need to survive in a cost conscious and fast moving industry .
