Golf Plus Direct’s decision to integrate a hosted platform using external servers to host their data remotely allows them greater flexibility in the scale of their software spend and is priced according to the volume of work they process.
Using the cloud Golf Plus has bypassed the sunk cost of using a physical on-site server and avoids the need to conduct expensive manual workarounds.
Paul Hunt, managing director of Phoebus Software, said: “It’s great to be able to offer a significant reduction in cost for Golf Plus Direct. By avoiding the need to invest in physical servers Golf Plus has the flexibility to cope with differing volumes of work at short notice as well as making significant maintenance savings which will make a real difference for their bottom line.
“This is the first time we’ve hosted a client’s systems fully through the cloud – meaning Golf Plus is able to feel the full benefits of using external suppliers to manage its IT functions – but it won’t be the last. Golf Plus are currently pioneers of a new way of integrating systems that will become more and more popular in the financial services industry. In the coming years the financial and operational benefits of hosted software will become too big to ignore.”
