Why Consona Cloud?

Consona offers all of its suites and point solutions on the cloud, and the real benefit of moving to the cloud is significant savings across hardware, bandwidth, personnel and maintenance fees for software applications. Based on the data we’ve gathered from our customers, whatever your paying today is likely going to be cut in half.

So most tangibly, the Consona Cloud is going to significantly drive down your IT costs over time; however, it also plays an important role if you’re trying to upgrade or expand your stack to achieve something more visionary in your service and support organization. Like any Software as a Service (SaaS), moving to the Consona Cloud is cheaper, has faster deployment times, and eliminates the need for CAPEX funding. With price being less of a factor in the extremely important process of selecting a business system, you can get back to what really matters, like breadth of functionality and ability to align with your unique business requirements and processes.

Compared to most cloud- or SaaS-based deployment options available across CRM software providers, the Consona Cloud is quite unique in its full-service nature. The breadth of infrastructure and application services plus platinum-class support included as part of the Consona Cloud deployment package is unmatched. It is also unique, especially when compared to traditional SaaS players, in that it enables multi-tenancy at the server/OS level, versus at the application layer. As such, we manage every single one of our customer deployments in an isolated instance on a single Amazon account, which makes for better system performance, security and data integrity. Meaning, your data is not sitting in the same database as anyone else’s data, and your software is yours to customize, even down to the code level. The apartment building-like application architecture offered by traditional SaaS vendors is limiting. When you rent, you share things with your neighbors, like your yard and utilities. Many companies are not willing to share foundational things like a database with their competitors. And, while there is a high level of configurability, traditional SaaS solutions cannot be deeply customized. Bottom line, everyone’s using the same application, and there is limited flexibility. You can’t knock out your apartment wall because your neighbor is using it, too.

In addition, multi-tenancy at the server/OS level also allows for much greater ease when enabling data and system portability, meaning that you can move to on-premise or even another infrastructure should your business conditions require it. This flexibility and choice is what we love most about the Consona Cloud. We can provide you with ultimate solution fit by offering you virtually any pricing and deployment option that makes sense for you today, and comply should those requirements change over time.
