Why On Demand

Delivering Value On Demand

Mariner On Demand is a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering, providing immediate access. That means reduced cost and time to implementation for you and your organization. Best of all, you only need a browser and internet connection to access the application. Purchased as a subscription, it enables you to realize benefits quickly. There are five major benefits to choosing an On Demand or SaaS offering.

Saves Money

As a subscription service, Mariner On Demand is a low cost, low risk solution for organizations of all sizes. There is no initial license cost, and no internal IT costs to deploy or maintain the solution. And with our low introductory pricing and free training, the value has never been greater. Mariner On Demand presents a very low cost/low risk to begin using the service – and to deliver a return for your organization.

Saves Time

Since Mariner On Demand is “ready to go,” you can be using the service in literally minutes. All we have to do is login. That eliminates all deployment and implementation costs and time. And you can begin customizing Mariner On Demand to meet your organizations needs immediately – either by yourself, or through the professional services offered by Serena or one of our Partners.

Enables the Freedom to Focus on Your Business

You and your IT resources should be focused on the business critical priorities that drive your business – not purchasing hardware for a new software or testing security, reliability, or scalability. With Mariner On Demand, Serena manages those issues for you. So you, your IT group, and your organization can focus on running your business – not our software.

Delivers Automatic Upgrades and Enhancements

One of the critical differentiators for On Demand or SaaS offerings is that you get the latest release and updates right away. Gone are the days of having to schedule that weekend upgrade or missing a critical piece of functionality because you are on the previous release. New releases and upgrades are immediate and transparent. That reduces the workload for your organization while still letting you take advantage of new features and functions.

Provides a Community – Your Community

Our customers are a community of professionals. To ensure we provide the best service to our community, we not only provide on-going service monitoring to ensure customer satisfaction, but we also provide a free, support moderated user community. There you, and professionals like you, can interact, ask and answer questions, and discuss best practices for Project Portfolio Management, as well as get information from industry experts. Mariner On Demand – it is more than just software.
