Cloud computing is now evolving like never before, with companies of all shapes and sizes adapting to this new technology. VAI solutions are built on standards-based technologies such as HTML5 and AJAX and can run on pretty much any platform with a modern web-browser.

Total Cost Of Ownership (TCO)

In today’s world, businesses are paying more attention than ever to cost-cutting measures by controlling the cost of their assets. They must therefore strive to obtain systems that have enhanced reliability, faster deployment time, and lower cost of ownership. VAI is well known for offering tremendous value in our technology suite, but a critically overlooked TCO factor, particularly for enterprises operating in high-growth fields or in acquisition mode, is the cost of scalability. With VAI, companies can save hundreds of thousands of dollars with our Unlimited User License option. This allows organizations to expand locations, add users, deploy multiple sessions, and add RF or Mobile users, without paying additional software licensing and related maintenance fees.

Integrated Applications Optimized for the Supply Chain

The debate between buying ‘best of breed’ software products versus fully integrated systems has raged on for years. Each approach certainly has its pros and cons. If your systems are ‘best of breed’, you have the best possible functionality. Your issues, however, lie in the areas of standardization, data integration, data flow, process flow, vendor management, coordinated software upgrades, and non-transferable skill sets. When you add cloud-based software into the mix, the issues magnify. In many cases, paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to integrate a ‘best of breed’ application with just slightly better functionality and a nicer user interface is hard to justify. At VAI, our approach is to offer Integrated Applications optimized for the Supply Chain within our ERP solution that eliminate complexity and integration costs, and provide users with effective practical applications that deliver bottom-line results.
