SaaS on AWS — Our Primary Recommendation

What's Included in PMWEB SaaS

The Base SaaS package comprises: PMWEB's Platform with Business Intelligence Reporting; Project Management (including Contract Management and Cost Management); Document Management; Visual Workflow; Asset Explorer; Custom Form Builder; the required number of PMWEB Licences; Hosting by PMWEB; 1TB storage (higher for larger numbers of Licenses); and the ability to create/manage an unlimited number of programs/projects of all types. Additional features are available in the optional Core and Premier packages.

SaaS is the most popular alternative for Clients who require an all-inclusive turn-key solution that manages and maintains all infrastructure in a secure environment. PMWEB SaaS utilises the Amazon Web Services EC2 Cloud, which has the highest security ratings in many global locations. PMWEB SaaS is also available with full functionality for a small number of users, suitable not only for small Clients needing this powerful functionality, but also for larger Clients seeking an extended Pilot of actual use in the field, prior to proceeding with organization-wide roll-out.

Implementation can be fast-tracked by running initial implementation tasks in parallel — see details on our Quick Start Packages which can complete configuration and training within weeks, according to specific Client requirements.
