B&L Information Systems Revolutionizes Metalcasting ERP Software with Odyssey Software as a Service.

B&L Information Systems announces their newest product, Odyssey Software as a Service (Odyssey SaaS). Odyssey Software as a Service addresses the need many metalcasters face - a need for industry-specific, ERP software with a low capital outlay. Odyssey SaaS satisfies this need by providing Odyssey, a proven metalcasting-specific ERP software system, over the internet.

Odyssey SaaS is the same software that many of North America’s top metalcasters use; however, Odyssey SaaS customers will enjoy the benefits of not having to expend upfront sums of money and resources typically needed for these projects. All hardware, hardware maintenance, software and software maintenance, backups, etc. are handled by B&L and their business partner, Gramtel, Inc., for a low, per user, per month fee. To activate the software, all your users will need is access to the internet.

“Software as a Service, or SaaS, makes sense for companies looking to control their IT spending,” says Philip Laney, B&L Information Systems President. “This delivery model allows organizations to receive all the benefits of an enterprise-class business solution without the need to purchase any additional hardware to run the application. Access is via a high-speed internet connection. The end-user doesn’t have to worry about network issues, daily backups, hardware failure, disaster recovery, etc. All these functions are handled by the Gramtel, Inc. and B&L Information Systems. Our customers have found it to be a simple, elegant and cost-effective way to receive the power and payback of an industrial-strength business solution like Odyssey.”
