New Zealand Eftpos system developer Provenco is moving to a software as a service platform, appointing Fronde Synergy to implement the Salesforce.com CRM system.

“The software-as-a-service business model has matured to the point where there are now some clearly recognisable benefits," Glen McLatchie, general manager, Provenco Retail Automation, said in a statement today.

“As a hosted model — it lowers the cost of professional services, eliminates the need for infrastructure set-up and baseline implementation costs and delivers measurable savings on ongoing maintenance, upgrades and support of customisation and integrations," McLatchie says.
