New Product Announcements Expand Purchasing Options for SMBs
DULLES, Virg.--Everest Software, Inc., a leading provider of business management software for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), today announced the introduction of a professional and an enterprise package of its flagship product, Everest® Advanced. In addition, the company announced that the on-premise version of Everest Advanced will now be available on a year-to-year term licensing basis.
The “Professional” and “Enterprise” packages include Everest’s powerful base functionality combined with the integrated options most frequently-purchased by companies at certain sizes and stages of growth. For example, a company with less complicated business operations may not require the ability to support multiple companies which are integrated options included in the Enterprise package. Customers who require a feature set that extends beyond the base system will now find it easier and more convenient to purchase the appropriate configuration of Everest Advanced.
With its announcement of the availability of term licensing, Everest has created an option that substantially reduces the upfront costs associated with purchasing business management software. Concerns about these costs often deter SMBs from upgrading their software to improve their overall performance and long term revenues. Term licensing is an attractive option for businesses who wish to install Everest Advanced on their own servers but want to avoid the initial investment cost in a perpetual software license. Customers will now be able to “pay-as-they-go” deploying Everest Advanced at their site with annual license payments. This new term licensing option is being offered in addition to Everest On-Demand which is a subscription service under which the software is hosted at an off-site data center eliminating the burden of system maintenance and enabling full remote access, as well as Everest’s traditional on-premise solution.
Regardless of the package purchased or the licensing option selected, Everest Advanced is an all-in-one business management solution that provides SMBs with an unparalleled view of their business by enabling them to track and manage all key business operations from a single application. Everest automates all mission-critical business functions including accounting, e-commerce, CRM, inventory management, order management and fulfillment, and POS.
"With the introduction of on-premise term licensing, coupled with the new bundled integrated option packages, we are significantly expanding the appeal of Everest Advanced and our ability to better meet the needs of SMBs seeking to take their operations and sales to the next level and beyond,” stated James McGowan, president and CEO of Everest Software. “Everest has clearly distinguished itself in the market with a unique product line and we will continue to monitor and respond to the requirements of our prospects and customers to ensure we are meeting their needs in all areas — product, services, and licensing options.”
