ProjecTools reduces risk, headaches, capital expenditures and maintenance costs with
a scalable solution that allows you to focus on business rather than technology.
SaaS Advantages
Focus on business rather than on technology.
Software systems should solve project manage-
ment problems, not create them. SaaS solutions
allow companies to focus on core functions
rather than infrastructure and maintenance
headaches.
Reduce risk and time to value. Implementing
SaaS solutions minimizes IT investment. All that
is needed to start using a SaaS solution is a
subscription and a Web browser. This translates
to quick deployment allowing organizations to
focus on data collection, process refnement and
goal defnition.
Lower total-cost-of-ownership. With a SaaS
solution organizations gain immediate access to
software functionality and IT-support with no
costly hardware or maintenance fees while
reducing fxed IT overhead. In contrast, the total
cost of on-premise installation is neither fnite
nor predictable.
Increased fexibility. SaaS solutions allow
customers to quickly scale user licensing as
needs change. Avoid paying for unused licenses
common with enterprise software.
Leverage specialties. SaaS solution providers
success depends on keeping data secure and
accessible. Leverage this interest and economies
of scale to enjoy premium security and technol-
ogy at a reduced cost.
Easy upgrades. Hosted models provide rapid
product releases and improvements without
straining IT.
Stable cash fows. SaaS solutions stabilize
cash fows and require no signifcant up-front
cash outlays.
Subscription Model. SaaS solutions gener-
ally oer a subscription model converting
software costs from capital expenditure to
operating budget.
Scalability. SaaS solutions eciently scale
with changing business needs eliminating the
expense of scaling traditional enterprise
software.

those employed by ProjecTools ofer the optimal environment to meet our strict requirements.
Why ProjecTools uses Data Centers
Data Center Advantages
Robust Power Infrastructure. World-class
data centers provide robust power infrastruc-
ture with the highest level of quality and
reliability. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
systems prevent power spikes, surges and
brownouts. Redundant diesel generators
maintain power in case of public utility failures.
Monitored, consistent power is distributed to
the equipment housed in racks. With no
spikes, brownouts, surges, or dips, this consis-
tent energy supply ensures the equipment is
well supported.
Reliable Physical Environment. World-class
data centers provide the precision HVAC
systems and employ robust preventive, detec-
tion, and suppression systems designed to
minimize and prevent disruption.
Physical Security. World-class data centers
utilize proven security equipment, techniques
and procedures to control access to the facility.
The data centers are staed with security
ocers to maintain fnancial-grade protection.

Customer Support. Data centers employ
on-site specialists for technical and logistical
support providing consistent word-wide
service while reducing fxed IT overhead.
Internet Diversity. Data centers employ
diverse networks and service providers to
optimize web trac providing clients speed
and fail-safe access to ProjecTools.
Dedicated Bandwidth. Hosting ProjecTools
at data centers oers burstable bandwidth
making sessions far less likely to be aected
by trac spikes.
Corporate Security. Using ProjecTools
reduces corporate IT strain by requiring
users to compute in a secure data center
environment.
Proven, Guaranteed Availability. World-class
data center infrastructure allows ProjecTools to
guarantee 99.5% uptime.
World-class data centers

ProjecTools provides continued operations during Hurricane Ike
Hurricane Ike Case Study
In September 2008 Hurricane Ike decimated
sections of Houston, Texas. Many ProjecTools
clients were directly in the path of the
Hurricane that made landfall as a Category
Two with sustained winds of 110 miles per
hour. Houston and surrounding areas
sufered the largest locally recorded power
outage. Hundreds of thousands of homes
and businesses, including many ProjecTools
clients, were without power for weeks.
Despite Houstons infrastructure failures,
ProjecTools data centers provided
uninterrupted access and prevented
the loss of any client data. ProjecTools
global clients from Scotland to Singapore
sufered no downtime in spite of
infrastructure failures and hurricane
conditions in Houston. ProjecTools
clients with global operations continued
business activities. Colleagues collaborated
from remote locations using ProjecTools
web-based system to assume the workload.
Throughout the storm the local data centers
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) was
active, utilizing backup generators until
power was fully restored and tested for
stability.
Had any ProjecTools clients hosted their
own project management software they
would have sufered considerable downtime
or worse.
Thanks to the network of data centers
employed by ProjecTools, clients were
provided uninterrupted service even
during Hurricane Ike.
ProjecTools international clients operations went uninterrupted
