ActiveStrategy Enterprise™ (ASE) On-Demand is the leading Software-as- a-Service (SaaS) application suite for automating strategic performance management or, as we like to call it, Enterprise Strategy Execution.
An organization engaged in Enterprise Strategy Execution is one that is focused on organization-wide alignment to strategy, systematic achievement of strategic plans, continuous improvement, and results. ASE On-Demand supports organizations through all phases of the “journey” that this endeavor requires.
Because approaches to this journey vary across organizations, ASE On-Demand is flexible. It supports a wide-range of performance management frameworks, such as the Balanced Scorecard, Malcolm Baldrige criteria, and Six Sigma. ASE also enables organizations to effectively align Human Capital to overall strategy via Personal Goal Management and Management- by-Objective.
As a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application, ASE On-Demand provides a rich, intuitive Web-based user interface, along with ease-of-entry for organizations of all sizes. ASE On-Demand eliminates the internal overhead costs associated with a perpetual software license purchase. There is no need to worry about hardware purchases and upgrades, database licenses, and the IT resources necessary to maintain infrastructure.
Why ASE On-Demand may be right for your organization:
- Rapid Implementation
Unlike traditional lengthy software implementations, which involve coordinating schedules and activities of cross-functional resources, purchasing and installing hardware, licenses, and supporting software, getting an implementation of ASE On-Demand up-and-running is as quick as flipping a switch. Sign-up, receive a logon, and you can be off and running, leaving you more time to concentrate on what really matters…executing your strategy.
- Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Since ASE On-Demand requires no internal infrastructure investments, no on-going internal support or upgrade costs, and no initial large-sum license purchase, clients save money in terms of time and resources. In addition, organizations begin profiting immediately from the associated benefits of an ASE application, rather than delaying access until a lengthy implementation is complete.
- Lower Risk
ASE On-Demand allows you to “pay-as-you-go,” which often makes the decision process simpler since it eliminates the risk associated with large up-front capital investments. You may subscribe to the service and, if your projected benefits are not realized, you may simply choose not to renew. In addition, since ActiveStrategy controls the environment in which ASE On-Demand operates, we reduce the risks that would normally be associated installing and operating software on diverse platforms at remote locations. This translates to higher uptimes and availability of the application.
- Focus on Core Business
When you choose ASE On-Demand, your resources are free from supporting the high-cost, time-consuming tasks associated with an internally hosted and maintained application. This allows them to spend more time supporting your core business activities.
