The ROAM “Platform as a Service”

---

AnyWare Group’s award-winning ROAM platform has revolutionized how organizations launch and deliver business solutions. ROAM provides “Platform-as-a-Service” solutions, in which a fully-implemented, shared infrastructure ensures fast, simple deployment of best-in-class IT capabilities in a secure and supported environment.

ROAM is scalable, so an organization can start with a few users and grow. ROAM is “touchless,” so data passes securely from the organization’s internal network to the user without being stored within ROAM. And ROAM is tested – operating right now in over 100 facilities across North America.

The Migration of Business Processes to the Internet

Organizations are moving their business processes to the Internet to give employees, customers and partners greater flexibility. Management and workers are no longer required to have their own personal serial numbers locked into their own expensive programs, stored on their own discrete personal computers. Workers are no longer tied to one chair, one desk and one building.

Every personal interaction, from online dating, shopping, banking, sharing a diary, photos and more has undergone metamorphosis on the Web. Because Internet activity can be securely encrypted between users, more and more people have moved their lives into “the cloud,” so that they dictate when and where they interact with computers, not the other way around. In the same way that the “memo” has given-way to e-mail, it was inevitable that most other business processes would evolve onto the Internet, and just as the Internet has enhanced our personal lives, it is very rapidly improving every aspect of our work lives.

IT Departments struggle to meet organizational goals with budgets, time-lines and personnel that are stretched to the limit. As innovation marches on, competitors improve processes while employees and customers demand IT capabilities that call for more fixed assets and more support costs with a return-on-investment that is difficult to measure. But there is an alternative to limitless capital expenditures and interminable IT proliferation.

As an organization adapts to this tide of technological and economic change, it must inevitably choose between two IT strategies: either the organization continues to add to its existing IT infrastructure, incurring additional costs and overhead while adding complexity to the business – or they choose a “Platform as a Service,” like ROAM, to provide a complete scalable portal solution that leverages the organization’s existing infrastructure. The latter option saves money, immediately and in the future, and allows the business to concentrate on business process innovation and improvement instead of IT implementation.

No Capital Expenditures, No Software License Issues

Every subscribing organization on the ROAM Platform is invoiced monthly, based on the number of authorized users. The cost is measurable and predictable, with no surprises.

With ROAM, sign-up, set-up and start-up all happen within days. The ROAM engineering staff take care of implementation, while your IT staff takes care of administration. With ROAM, your authorized users (managers, workers and partners) will be able to remotely access everything they need within the time it takes to read the first chapter of the user manual on a competing do-it-yourself remote access installation.”

Maximum Application Compatibility

ROAM is "clientless," allowing authorized users to access work from any computer, using any popular browser on any popular operating system (i.e., PC, Mac or Linux).

Admininistration Console and Identity Management

Through the ROAM Administration Console, IT managers control who may access solutions, under what circumstances users may access solutions and what users need to do to access them. Through the Administration Console, an administrator can add new users, authorize roles and request activity reports.
