products delivery model

Kinaxis™ RapidResponse™ is an on-demand Response Management service. With the pervasive trend of outsourcing, adoption of an on-demand service to solve fulfillment network and supply chain challenges is a natural extension of a brand owner or manufacturer's outsourcing activities. With an on-demand service, customers retain responsibility for user management, while Kinaxis delivers service level measurement, global support, application management and management of all software, hardware, network and physical environments. An on-demand service offers many compelling operational benefits:

Lower Total Cost of Ownership and No Capital Investment
Unlike traditional enterprise applications, an on-demand service requires no user-owned or managed infrastructure (software or hardware), reducing risk and cost by eliminating the need for up-front capital investments and ongoing IT resources for maintenance and management. And with a one-time, fixed-fee deployment, customers can depend on a predictable and cost-managed implementation.

In addition, the on-demand RapidResponse service, available through an all-inclusive monthly subscription pricing, gives companies the flexibility to scale the solution as and when needed, as well as to automatically remain current on new RapidResponse releases.

Global Access, Any Time, Anywhere The on-demand RapidResponse service is accessible from a web browser, making Response Management capabilities instantly available to unlimited employees and supply chain partners around the globe.

Rapid Time-to-Value With a streamlined deployment process that can typically be done in a matter of weeks and requires limited IT resources, customers are able to realize value quickly. And the on-demand model allows companies to add sites, users and/or other Response Management application modules at any time to address supply chain response challenges.

World Class Security and Availability The on-demand RapidResponse service is built around world-class network security and availability with security personnel onsite 24 x 7 x 365. Visitors are screened upon entry for verification of identity and the facility features keyless security with biometric hand geometry readers and digital camera coverage of the data center integrated with the access control and alarm systems.
