Lowest total cost of ownership
With Elumena, you avoid the hidden costs and hassles of traditional client-server systems. Elumena is an on-demand application, so there is no software or hardware to buy, no expensive installation, no software maintenance fees, no costly upgrades, and no incremental IT resources required. Unlike traditional client-server software, Elumena's subscription pricing includes everything you need, so you won't be surprised later by unanticipated IT costs.
Ease of use
User-friendly interfaces, a well-constructed and intuitive design will allow first time users to become proficient with minimal training. Customers start achieving benefits within weeks with limited upfront costs, rather than waiting many months and spending thousands on implementation costs.
Flexible
Elumena allows users to configure the software to meet their own unique requirements and specific business processes. Using an open data model (e.g., XML, SOAP), Elumena supports integration with existing and future enterprise systems. As technology is constantly evolving, many companies have found themselves burdened with expensive client server solutions that no longer meet their requirements. In a SaaS deployment the company pays only for the software it uses. This goes a long way in eliminating wasteful software spending.
100% web-native
Most traditional providers of street sign software to government have built their platforms on a client-server model. Others offer a "hosted" or "web enabled" client-server solution. Just as with traditional software, these "hosted solutions" incur major expenses each time the software is upgraded, because previous customer configurations are lost and the application has to be redeployed for each customer. Elumena's system has been designed from the ground up as a web-native solution, meaning it is designed and optimized for operation over the Internet.
