Verizon Business announced Tuesday that ISID, a Japanese provider of financial, enterprise management and human resources solutions to enterprises, has turned to Verizon for a cloud-compute environment that now enables ISID to quickly deploy resources as it adds new customers, without the need to invest in dedicated hardware and software.
Specifically, ISID wanted to deliver its key business accounting application, STRAVIS, for access by its customers anywhere via the cloud.Verizon Computing-as-a-Service (CaaS) can be scaled on demand according to ISID’s immediate business needs, helping the company to better manage its IT resources while also achieving cost efficiencies.
ISID’s business is built around the STRAVIS consolidated accounting application, which is used by more than 400 companies in Japan and around the globe. ISID decided to migrate to an enhanced, financial reporting and management solution on its cloud solution, CLOUDiS, which would enable the company to quickly deploy resources as it adds new customers, without the need to invest in dedicated hardware and software.
ISID can choose between either public or private cloud environments, or a virtual private cloud leveraging Verizon’s global MPLS Services. In addition, Verizon Business’ CaaS data centers are fully SAS70 Type II compliant, which enables ISID to ensure appropriate control over its processes.
Verizon CaaS’ flexible payment model also enables ISID to align expenditures with revenues, while benefiting from daily billing, integrated security, automated provisioning and integrated storage and backup services to support business continuity. Application availability is backed by Verizon Business’ stringent service-level agreements, and the solution is provisioned through a Web-based user interface.
“For our customers, security, availability and full audit control in accordance with compliance requirements are key – especially as we move our STRAVIS accounting application into the cloud," said Hiroyuki Seta, senior consultant at ISID. "Verizon CaaS has the capacity to support our intensive resource demands today, and the scalability to support our future growth."
